Asparagus asparagoides aka Bridal Creeper

Asparagus asparagoides, also known as bridal creeper, bridal-veil creeper, gnarboola, smilax, or smilax asparagus, is a herbaceous climbing plant from the Asparagaceae family. Native to eastern and southern Africa, it can grow up to 3m in length and spreads through both seeds and tubers. Its glossy green, sometimes heart-shaped leaves adorn the vine, while white flowers bloom in spring. Although initially cultivated as an ornamental plant, it has become a problematic environmental weed in Australia and New Zealand. This invasive species poses significant threats to the local ecosystem. With its rhizomatous nature and the presence of tubers reaching sizes of up to 6 cm by 2 cm, it rapidly takes over its surroundings. Bridal creeper is often found infiltrating Australia, where it is classified as an invasive species.
