Noxious, portrait
This is one of the pictures I made on a recent shooting with Noxious. She's a beautiful and very talented model. It was a great shooting, thank you! I will post more pictures of her shortly.

Some old photographs that were lying around on my harddisc from my shooting with Noxious that I wanted to share with you. Hope you like them!

Noxious / Poisonous Hogweed
Giant Hogweed (Heracleum mantegazzianum) is a member of the parsley or carrot family, Apiaceae (Umbelliferae). As its name indicates it is characterized by its size and may grow to 15 to 20 feet in height. It forms a dense canopy out-competing native riparian species and results in an increase in soil erosion along the stream banks where it occurs. Giant hogweed is a tenacious perennial, which is difficult to eradicate. Giant hogweed is currently on the noxious weed list. Its placement on the list is due to its potential menace as a public health hazard. The plant exudes a clear watery sap, which sensitizes the skin to ultraviolet radiation. This can result in severe burns to the affected areas resulting in severe blistering and painful dermatitis. These blisters can develop into purplish or blackened scars. www.nanaimo.ca/assets/Departments/Parks~Rec~Culture/Publi... Lisa-S and I found many, many of these weeds along the board walk and paths of Ratray Marsh. Just touching these plants can result in serious blisters, and if you then touch your eye, blindness. We were surprised and I've reported it to the number Mike provided below in comments. © All Rights Reserved - No Usage Allowed in Any Form Without the Written Consent of Gail Shotlander (aka shotzy)

Noxious weed control in Glacier National park
One of the most challenging natural resource issues facing many western communities is the spread of noxious weeds. Here in the Blackfoot it’s no different with the health of native grasslands, ranchlands, forests and streamsides depending on private and public efforts to manage weeds. The list of weeds in the Blackfoot includes known invaders like spotted knapweed , leafy spurge , yellow toadflax Canada Thistle , St. Johnswort, Hound's Tongue , Sulfur Cinquefoil, Oxeye Daisies , hoary cress , common tansy and a number of new invaders like Dalmatian toadflax , orange hawkweed and yellowflag iris . This photo was taken from one of the red bus tours recently in Glacier National Park area
Noxious Weed,DaImation Toadflax, - an "illegal iImmigrant"
While we pay money to have snapdragons, we also pay money for governments to use herbicides with questionable results as far as research goes, so these beautiful plants won't take over the natives in our area. So they're called "Noxious Weeds" because somehow, some animal or other that we eat, and which ranchers depend on for 'grazing' rights makes them....an unwelcom migrating plant, even though, they only grow where the soil has been disturbed by machiner, and they're part of the plan mother nature has for healing the soil.
Leafy spurge (noxious weed) pollinator
Euphorbia esula, a Class A Utah noxious weed. These bees were quite small, did not remain on the flowers for long, flighty. Despite its noxious weed status, non-native invasive species can support native bees who may have few other options. Leafy spurge is often sprayed; spraying in general is highly deleterious to our native bees. We need to re-think how we deal with invasive species. Thanks to Vince Tepedino, Terry Griswold and Harold Ikerd of the USDA Bee Lab for their review of this picture and suggesting possible ID's. This bee ID is difficult, it may be Micrandrena (Andrenidae), or it may be a very small colletid. June 21, 2011, Holladay, Salt Lake County Utah, along Big Cottonwood Creek, about 4,375 ft.
Leafy spurge (noxious weed)
Euphorbia esula, a Class A Utah noxious weed. Three native bee species were observed visiting this plant, one of those species involving a dozen or more individuals simultaneously. Despite its noxious weed status, non-native invasive species can support native bees who may have few other options. Leafy spurge is often sprayed; spraying in general is highly deleterious to our native bees. We need to re-think how we deal with invasive species. This is same plant as pictured here on May 16, 2011: www.flickr.com/photos/tonyfrates/5728006337/ June 21, 2011, Holladay, Salt Lake County Utah, along Big Cottonwood Creek, about 4,375 ft.
Lamberts Crazy weed #1 (noxious)
At one time I used to map the progress of noxious weeds through the southwestern part of Colorado. I enjoyed it and consider them the equivilent of botanical Coyotes
Leafy spurge noxious weed
Euphorbia esula L., Leafy spurge, a Class A Utah noxious weed. Perennial. This is typical of a fully mature plant (this plant is probably only about two, maybe three, years old). Linear to narrowly oblong, entire leaves. Inflorescence umbellate but with some flowers from axils below. Plants only grow to about 3 feet (3-7 dm) tall but are reported to have an extensive root system of up to 20 feet long and 14 feet deep. When the fruits are mature, seeds can be propelled up to 15 feet away from the plant. May 16, 2011, Holladay, Salt Lake County, Utah, elev. approx 4,375 ft., growing near the diverted Big Cottonwood Creek which parallels Highland Drive. Plants appear t to have spread here from an infestation that was on the opposite side of Highland Dr. to the west and despite the fact that infestation was cleaned up. See what this same plant looked like on June 21, 2011: www.flickr.com/photos/tonyfrates/5857962098/

Leafy spurge (noxious weed) pollinators: Sphecodes and Carpenter Bee
Euphorbia esula, a Class A Utah noxious weed. These were the two of three native bee species observed visiting the flower. Despite its noxious weed status, non-native invasive species can support native bees who may have few other options. Leafy spurge is often sprayed; spraying in general is highly deleterious to our native bees. We need to re-think how we deal with invasive species. Thanks to Vince Tepedino, Terry Griswold and Harold Ikerd of the USDA Bee Lab for their review of this picture and suggesting possible ID's. The bee with the red abdomen is a species of Sphecodes (Halictidae), a parasite of other bee species and that does not make its own nest. The smaller bee in flight is probably a male Ceratina (Apidae), a small carpenter bee that nests in wood. June 21, 2011, Holladay, Salt Lake County Utah, along Big Cottonwood Creek, about 4,375 ft.
Epidemic - Noxious N8
Made for Noxious N8. He wanted an epidemic theme of course, made this one very sharp and gritty. Don't know about you but I like it a lot.
ZOMG NOXIOUS WEEDS
What characteristics does a weed have to exhibit to be labeled 'noxious'?
lovely flower, but a noxious weed all the same
the angled onion is classified as a noxious weed in most of victoria, and it is everywhere down around the local parklands. it stinks. pretty flowers though ^_^
Theme Week: Noxious Weeds
Day 246/365 Lovely, invasive, and the scourge of my neighbourhood. The noxious weeds are in bloom right now so here's a few shots of these beastly plants. Today: purple clover.
