Mother-of Millions

Mother-of Millions
Mother of Millions is the common name for several related plants and hybrids, native to Africa and Madagascar. Introduced as a garden plant, it is now a serious weed in parts of Australia. It spreads by producing many plantlets (see notes) and is drought resistant. Worst of all, the plant and flowers are toxic to livestock.

Pretty flower but these invasive species are very harmful to the local flora. You're right! We have in France the same problem with - among others! - Japanese knotweed....

Agree with Nouchet, esp. about Japanese knotweed. But a pleasing looking plant!

Les Kalanchoés méritent leur surnom , car ils portent des centaines de bébés , des propagules , qui se sèment et s'enracinent directement

Al ser invasora imagino que el ganado no ha generado aún genética de “alarma” ante esta planta. Habría que saber si donde es originaria la planta, la come el ganado local. Por ejemplo, no he tenido perro que mordisquee seta en el campo ni jugando, supongo que en su genética recibe una señal que rechaza tocar una seta; probablemente habrán pasado siglos y muerte de incontables perros hasta que generasen en su ADN alarma a las setas.

Many introduced non-indigenous species become a nuisance, George. This one is pretty though. We have 'inherited' grey squirrels, Japanese knotweed, Himalayan balsam etc. All difficult to eradicate.
