aus obigem Link:

Und immer wieder in der Landschaft: dichte Hecken von meterhohen Fuch-
sien, Rhododendronbüsche und gigantische Mammutblätter der Gunneria, Pflanzen wie aus der Urwelt, dazwischen Monbrezien in knalligem Orange.
„Sie sind eine Pest“, sagen die Einheimischen über diese exotische Blütenpracht. Denn diese Pflanzen stammen aus dem Himalaya, aus Chile, aus Südafrika und kamen mit der viktorianischen Gartenkultur der Engländer nach Irland. Hier gedeihen sie zur Freude des Gastes prächtig und wuchern zum Ärger der Einheimischen - dank des milden Klimas, das sogar Palmen wachsen lässt.
