Earlier this week, I was weeding the wetlands exhibit, which was overrun by purple loosestrife.  Among the purple were a lot of eye-high plants with grass-like seeds sprouting out of the top, which I simply noted in passing as "Hmm, those look interesting, I wonder what they are, I haven't seen them anywhere else around the zoo..."

There is only one cure for stinging nettle: food from Fire & Ice.

Ouch!

Urtica hurtica

The best cure for stinging nettle I know is jewel weed. Good luck ridding your exhibit of that pretty but pervasive loosestrife.

Oh believe me, that loosestrife went DOWN.
