This Pretty Flower Is Wrecking Ecosystems

Did you know that those cute yellow flowers popping up by rivers might actually be destroying native wildflowers? Lesser celandine looks harmless but totally takes over, smothering trilliums, bluebells, and more before vanishing by summer—leaving bare soil and erosion behind. Experts say it’s super hard to get rid of because its roots stick around. If you spot it in your yard, swap it for native grasses or clover to help pollinators and save water. Wild, right? #InvasiveSpecies #EcoAlert #NativePlants #Home
