He sorprendido a este macho de Tortuga mediterránea (Testudo hermanni) comiendo flores de Marcus-Kochia littorea (Malcolmia littorea para los nostálgicos como yo). Apenas se ha desplazado +100 m en los últimos 4 años. Se sabrá las plantas de memoria.

Most of the job, sadly, is not nearly so fun—about 90% of what he does all day is pull tumbleweeds and kochia. But this is the first and worst year, and there will be a lot fewer next year.

One hill in Ibaraki turns blue in spring and scarlet in autumn. Miharashi Hill carries 5.3 million nemophila in mid-spring; by mid-October tens of thousands of kochia have burned red. ¥450.

The famous autumn kochia bushes turning a brilliant red on Miharashi Hill at Hitachi Seaside Park in Hitachinaka, Ibaraki Prefecture, Japan.
Miharashi Hill (Miharashi no Oka) at Hitachi Seaside Park in Ibaraki Prefecture transforms into an extraordinary, rolling landscape during the autumn color shift of its thousands of kochia (summer cypress) bushes. Captured during its seasonal transition, the image records the rich gradient as the spherical Bassia scoparia plants shift from their lush summer green into warm rust-orange and fiery magenta-crimson. Along the lower slopes of the hill, a vibrant meadow of pink and white cosmos flowers (akizakura) blooms simultaneously, creating a multi-layered floral carpet that grounds the composition. Winding pedestrian paths slice through the terraced rows, guiding the viewer's eye upward toward visitors walking along the ridge against the open sky. Beyond its visual impact as a modern horticultural spectacle, kochia possesses deep roots in traditional Japanese material culture and daily life. Historically known in Japan as hōkigusa ("broom grass"), the plant's tough, resilient dried stems were traditionally harvested and bound together to construct lightweight brooms for rural homes and courtyard sweeping. Additionally, the tiny, glossy seeds of the plant are processed into tonburi—a prized culinary delicacy often referred to as "field caviar" in Akita and neighboring northern prefectures due to its distinctive popping texture and savory application. By intertwining seasonal transformation, agricultural utility, and land art, the scene captures both the playful geometry of contemporary park design and Japan's enduring reverence for seasonal rhythms.

Iowa State researchers are seeing more kochia moving into crop fields, where herbicide resistance is now a concern. A weed once associated mainly with roadsides and unmanaged ground is becoming a farm problem

"Hitachi Seaside Park in Ibaraki Prefecture along the Pacific coast, is one of Japan's 🇯🇵 most famous floral destinations. It is best known for its seasonal landscape transformations, most notably the Baby Blue Eyes in spring and red Kochia bushes in autumn."

Trying to get an idea of where kochia has spread to in the Prairies. If you've got kochia, especially a newer problem, we'd love if you would upload your observation to iNaturalist so we can get a feel just how far it's moved! Please reskeet! Project here: www.inaturalist.org/projects/koc...
