>The Brits developed some of the most efficient plant transports that would
keep a plant alive for an
exceptionally long time on a sea voyage.Brought plants in from around the
world.

Often by wealthy plant collectors who had to have all those exotic species.
Now we are wishing that they had not been so enthusiastic!  As an example,
the waterway-choking Himalayan Water Balsam (although a wonderful bee plant
and very striking in appearance) is now costing a fortune in river
maintenance.

Best wishes
