Folks As An Act of Nature
It&#8217;s funny how far we&#8217;ve managed to distance ourselves from nature. When a hurricane sweeps across Florida, it is an act of nature. A big, aggressive, destructive act of nature. It might also serve as a Johnny Appleseed of sorts, spreading the seeds of an orchid species that has never before grown on the North American continent. But when a gardener brings, from another continent, a new plant species to the garden, such as Purple Loosestrife or Japanese Honeysuckle, well that&#8217;s another story, isn&#8217;t it? It&#8217;s not an act of nature at all, particularly when the results are as disastrous as those associated with these two plants.
