17、n the garden.She did not know the name of the beautiful plant. But that did not matter to her. She loved it!Two years later,Damiano graduated from Cornell Universitys master gardener program. She worked as a gardening writer for a local newspaper. That is when she found out the truth. She discovered
18、 that her favorite plant was called purple loose strife and that it was considered “invasive (入侵的) ” in her home state of New York.

This means they may seem harmless and well-contained in the garden but become harmful in other places.Birds eat the seeds of invasive plants and spread them to other places. Those seeds grow into new plants that outgrow native plants. This is because

23、gencies, universities and colleges, and environmental groups. You can also do your own research at libraries or online.In the end, Damiano replaced that plant with the native and equally beautiful blazing star plant.
