The water hyacinth is a free-floating perennial aquatic plant native to tropical South America. It can grow quickly with low care and maintenance requirements. As it can produce beautiful flowers and greatly improve water quality, it has been introduced to many countries around the world for ornamental purposes. In China, the plant is called "fengyanlian," meaning the "lotus of phoenix's eyes," as the patterns on petals resemble the beautiful eye of the phoenix.
In nature, high vitality sometimes means invasiveness, as a species will soon occupy entire areas and wipe out other species. The water hyacinth is exactly one of these species, as its glossy leaves, beautiful purple flowers and ability to improve water quality are so attractive that people forget about its danger.
