Purple loosestrife (Lythrum salicaria) at the Lodge Apartments just off Cumberland Avenue, West Lafayette. Picture taken July 14, 2014. The Celery Park wetland is nearby but no purple loosestrife is visible there.

The WL park maintenance crew sprayed this purple loosestrife with herbicide in late July 2014. I removed the dead plants in early August 2014. Hopefully the species won't be found here next year.
