On one rainy morning at Shawnee on the Delaware I wandered down to the River and found these raindrops on a Japanese Knotweed.  The striking beauty of the red stems, the green foilage and the drops reminded  me of how beauty can dwell in unexpected places.   Knotweed is an invasive plant imported for ornamental purposes that has almost taken over many of the banks along the Delaware River and numerous other areas.  It is extremely difficult to kill and multiplies quickly.   Its root structure does not hold the soil in place so it is not a good plant for bank erosion control.
