Two new plants have been added to the BFS Plant List – one naughty, one nice. Milk Thistle, Silybum marianum, is a nasty invasive non-native weed. In contrast, Red Maids, Calandrinia ciliata, a petite native annual with fleshly leaves, can be used in ecological restoration and is reportedly a tasty addition to salad.
