Well, that's aggressive

I pulled out some more garbage plants this weekend, and revealed this one in the process.

It’s pretty, with shiny leaves, and I got the feeling it maybe was something worth keeping.

I downloaded a “plant identification” app and was briefly impressed to learn that I had uncovered an Australian umbrella tree.

“That sounds fancy!” I thought.

“I wonder what I just threw away into the yard waste bin? Maybe there’s other good stuff? Ugh! Too late now.”

Then, I read further and learned that Australian umbrella plants, in Florida, are “aggressive weeds,” which seems like an awfully aggressive description for something with such shiny, pretty leaves.
