These grow prolifically along the river's edge. Water Hyacinth. Native to Brazil, the species was introduced in the 1800's and has spread and naturalized extensively. Pretty as it is, it is also invasive; reproduces rapidly; and can squeeze out native plant species. Left unchecked, it can literally 'choke a river, pond or stream.' They sure are pretty though.

Would like to find out what the name of this shrub is. It grows prolifically along the river edge and smells wonderful.
