		<description><![CDATA[I don&#8217;t often think of weeds as providing tasty food, but in the case of our nasty and invasive Himalayan Blackberries, formerly Rubus discolor and now Rubus armeniacus, an environmental scourge of the Northwest provides mighty delicious eating. That makes sense, since the species was originally introduced to North America as a garden plant and [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[
Common Cordgrass, Spartina anglica, is one of the aquatic scourges of Puget Sound. One of three species of Spartina that have been introduced to the west coast, it aggressively alters its habitat by trapping sediment and raising the shoreline. As a result, productive mudflats disappear, invertebrates die, and the birds that depend on them have [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[I&#8217;ve been out bicycling a lot of miles around Whatcom County this year While it&#8217;s mostly a speed thing challenging myself to see how fast I can go, I&#8217;m also observing what&#8217;s in bloom along the side of the road. It changes every few weeks, although there are few flowers, like Queen Ann&#8217;s Lace, that [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Back in 2003 and 2004 I spent the entire growing season searching for wildflowers to include in Wildflowers of the Pacific Northwest. By the time the season ended, there were about 40 plants that Phyllis and I thought ought to be included in the book that I was never in the right place at the [...]]]></description>
