I wrote about Chinese knotweed (Persicaria chinensis) yesterday and today's post is about pink knotweed (Persicaria capitata). Pink knotweed is called "princess Chinese knotweed" in Japanese because its flower and leaf shapes are similar to, but smaller than, those of Chinese knotweed. And pink knotweed flowers look like really princesses to me.
