I know very little about plants, but am very happy to look at them! Are those small red ones Scarlet Pimpernel? - They seek him here, they seek him there...etc?
Hari OM These are superb - and I have never accepted the concept of weeds. Over-ambitious plants have occasionally had to be dealt with; but if it's green and growing, God bless it!!! YAM xx
Those look way to cheerful and pretty to be weeds :-) Nice pics. It sometimes makes me chuckle as to what some people consider weeds and what they don't. I'm a Kiwi living in the US. When I was living in Nevada, I was a little bit perplexed to find that Scotch Broom was being sold in garden shops as a landscaping plant!!! Now that I'm living up in Washington State, which has a similar climate to NZ, Scotch Broom is back to being a noxious weed and a right royal pain in the bum to eradicate!! As I said, funny old world..lol
Having taken on a derelict garden I am well used to weeds. Some are really pretty. If I call them wildflowers it makes me feel better! I love your photograph of the dandelion seed head. :)

Weeds can have their own beauty too. I have to admit I do like the spiky softness of the thistle flower.
Oh no!!!!!
Nothing that beautiful, should be called a weed.
Very interesting... The description of a weed. So personal a view. And it would be different, for each person.

Such pretty photos! Some weeds are kind of pretty that I hate to pull them out.
Wow! These photos are absolutely beautiful, Betty!
Ah, I do hope I can visit NZ one day. I've read so many books set there! I was particularly fascinated reading about Maoris.
Thanks for visiting me!
Have a great week!
Love, Vidya
Weeds are about the only blossoms I have in my natural mountain setting! I would welcome those!

They look like flowers to me (and beautiful). I always wondered what the difference is between weeds and wildflowers.

Sometimes it´s really hard to say what is weed and what wildflowers :)You found a collection of beautiful flowers!
Love the dandelion! There is a Winnie the Pooh quote that goes something like - Weeds are flowers too once you get to know them. :)
