Cover art for The Return Of The Giant Hogweed lyrics by Genesis

A ripping yarn about a particularly evil species of plant that, having been introduced to Britain in Victorian times, proceeds to try and destroy the human race. A sort of rhododendron with attitude if you will.

It could be a metaphor for Europeans settling in America or Australia and almost wiping out the indiginous population but probably is just Gabriel's take on The Day of the Triffids.
