What weed is that?

The Pick Up and Pull it out weed of the Month is Mother of Millions, Bryophyllum delagoense. This easily spread, raging red weed is a huge problem on many of our foreshore reserves and around the roadside. It can be viewed in all its glory at Gurranba and Ambrose Street reserves.
 
It likes full sun and infertile soils, almost rock, and it described as a succulent (fleshy leaves), erect herb up to 1m high. It has salmon/scarlet/orange tubular flowers at the end of the stem. It produces many seeds, some say millions, and can also grow from any bits of the plant that are broken off.
 
If you ever feel the urge to add some bending and stretching to your morning walk , bagging up some Mother of Millions is an easy and extremely satisfying endeavor. Any part of the plant can resprout so getting it all out is tricky, seed heads are always a good target to prevent more seeds spreading.
