On July 23rd we were in Kajaani. By the river near the city center there is a forest criss-crossed by paths, and in the forest there were several spots where Impatiens glandulifera was growing in uncontrolled manner. This plant is spreading quite rapidly, and I except it will cause trouble in Finland in the future, as it is very competitive with native species. It should be cut down before the flowers turn into seeds.
