title: A foreigner in Ireland.
abstract: Those beautiful blue eucalyptus leaves in your Valentine's bouquet may be the product of the new cut-foliage industry in County Kerry, Ireland. Initially, commercial plantations were the victims of an insect accidentally imported from Australia, but two years ago a natural enemy was released and has proven to be an effective control agent for the pest.
