Proliferation

Mossy clearing with foxgloves (Digitalis purpurea), Gwaii Hanas, Haida Gwaii, BC. This huge stand of foxglove in the old growth rainforest resulted when deer were introduced into the Queen Charlotte Islands. With no natural predators, the deer proliferated in the rich environment and ate everything in sight, destroying the undergrowth through large areas of the islands. The foxglove survived and proliferated because the plant is toxic to deer.

Image for BCAM with its themes of uncontrolled proliferation, toxins, invasion and disruption. I posted a frame filling pink photo for today as well, see here: https://www.allenfotowild.com/DailyPhoto/Daily-2019/i-kv8q6wR/A

    Well thought out contribution, both for the BCAM recognition and for its message of unintended consequences that humans seemed destined to continue to inflict on themselves and on the planet at large.


    My power went out overnight, and I just got it back, so I can finally post my two pink posters for the day.

    Stunning stand of foxglove! When we visited the Pacific NW, I noticed lots of foxglove growing in the wild. That is so neat!
