Asphodelus fistulosus

804_0616 [Asphodelus fistulosus]

 
Asphodelus fistulosus thrives in any area with a Mediterranean climate.
It can be found as a common weed in pastures, roadsides and rocky areas of many countries of Europe, or as an invasive noxious weed with significant infestations in various parts of the USA
and other countries!
It is a short-lived perennial that usually reaches the height of 70 cm
and produces white flowers that open during daylight hours
and close at night or in low-light weather conditions.
 
Livestock avoid eating it,
so, undisturbed, it gradually occupies any available space in its habitat.
(See below).
