Stærkere og kraftigere arter, som lokalt bare kaldes "ukrudt" - selv om det drejer sig om vilde blomster - fik fodfæste i kolonien og begyndte at kvæle vores "cotton-weed", så snart den menneskelige indgriben var forsvundet.
Stronger and more vigorous species, better known colloquially as 'weeds' - even though they are all wild flowers - gained a foothold in the colony and began to choke off the cotton-weed once human intervention was gone.
