immigrant


22,000 Americans read about Portugal

but only

4,000 immigrate


One more (hybrid, invasive) species added 

to over 200 here.

 

For the most part, well-behaved?

Let's just say we're contained,

exotic.

 

As plants go

we´re few,

mostly gardened in pots

but still

not plastic (sterilised).

 

I assure you

woven plastic rattan

doesn't hold a candle to sea grass,

hyacinth, or weeds seeded from

dung and birds (invasive).

 

O relogio,

stay with us,

through the wind up,

the pitch, the throw.

 

More pots to sow.

 

Know

acacias, agave, ailanthus

aster, fleabane, galinsoga

ipomaea, opuntis, oxalis  

(in February bloom profusion)

pokeweed, knotgrass, cheesewood.
