I was delighted by the masses of pinky-purple rhododendrons that are everywhere in Wales.

The locals were less enthusiastic – these beauties are apparently an invasive species that are taking over the native plants that normally thrive in this environment.If you didn’t know the scale this could be mistaken for a swath of purple heather, native to this area, as opposed to the considerably larger Rhododendrons.
