    We recently discovered a 'visitor' to our garden. It has been growing leaps and bounds these past few very sunny days. After seeing a very similar specimen on the evening news (Vancouver invasion of Asian knotweed) we are a little leary of its potential presence here in Saanich.

    Appreciate an ID of it -- thanks.

    A harmless one valued for ornament, more on the order of Persicaria amplexicaule.

    Thanks for the info ..a relief off our minds, and glad to know it can be a keeper -- which it may well be!
