I love seeing pictures of flower season from different places. It's so interesting to see what colors Nature "chooses" for different areas.

That's a shame about invasive plants taking over before the native ones have a chance to grow back. I wonder if goats could help? In the US there has been some success with temporarily bringing goats to an area who do a good job off stripping plants down, roots and all, and then reseeding the place with native species.
