Birth of a beautiful invader
Diane Nicolson
Agapanthus praecox is a common plant in Tasmanian gardens. Extremely hardy, it is a declared weed in some states. It is invasive on roadsides, in bush and along waterways in our state. The dense root system competes with native undergrowth and can contribute to flooding down drainage lines.

BEAKER STREET SCIENCE PHOTOGRAPHY PRIZE
This photograph was a finalist in Beaker Street’s annual Science Photography Prize. This highly-respected prize invites amateur and professional photographers to showcase the wonders of our extraordinary part of the world — which is teeming with science and scientists. Finalist images are displayed at the Tasmanian Museum and Art Gallery during Beaker Street Festival each August, with great prizes on offer for Judges’ and People’s Choice winners.
The Beaker Street Science Photography Prize is sponsored by Pennicott Foundation — thank you crew! It would not be possible without the support of Full Gamut, Tasmania’s premier fine art printers, as well as the wonderful Tasmanian businesses who donate prizes.
