Kudzu - Not All Bad - Macro Flowers Saturday

 

*****

Kudzu; Pueraria lobata

Taken: 9/4/2010

Alabama side of the Chattahoochee River in Phenix City.

Kudzu has taken over the south. Orginally imported and used to control soil erosion, Kudzu now grows out of control in many places. Also called "foot-a-night vine", "mile-a-minute vine", and "the vine that ate the South". Kudzu is a member of the pea family. The flowers smell like grape juice. Yummy : )

For more information, click here and here.
