Anyone else got this growing in their garden/local area?

It's quite distinctive, and apparently has been around since before the dinosaurs - it's incredibly difficult to get rid of, as a tiny piece of one plant can regrow into multiple other plants in a very short time period. It reproduces via spores and can spread underground so even if you pull it up it can still work its way across your garden.

We've had it in our garden (Scotstounhill) for about five years now, a friend has it in Kelvindale, and I even noticed some in Victoria Park last week for the first time.
