    Most loved weeds

    and why?

    Those lovely tall white daisy's that grow on the grass verges.
    I just want to run through them! beautiful on mass, yet simple in their singularity.

        Mine would have to be the buttercup, many an hour wasted as a child testing if people liked butter.

        I do really love dandelion and burdock, mmm.....sweet.

            They remind me a bit of a lily, a special kind of lily the boa (constrictor) lily.

              I have over 19 types of wild flower on my little plot- just round the paths!
              Ever taken a real close look at some of the flowers! really luverly! even it they are just weeds, and you know what they say about a weed- its just a flower in the wrong place!

                I've just got back from a few hours down at the plot, which included my 'selective' weeding - I'm leaving all the foxgloves and scarlet pimpernels! I even re-planted a foxglove that came up by mistake, am I mad?!

                I'm with you on the white daisies, and I love the foxgloves (obviously!) and red campion. This is just such a wonderful time of year.
                Life is brief and very fragile, do that which makes you happy.

                  actually, i like bindweed too, its pretty, and deadly nightshade, i have both of them growing in my hedge ...... they seem to like it there, and haven't encroached on the garden in 3 1/2 years, my grandads favorite flower was a dandelion, so i leave one growing just for him, but take the flowers off before they seed, and i also have a patch of clover in my lawn that's really pretty.

                    I like bindweed as long as it's not in my veg patch!

                    It's all curly, with lovely shaped leaves and nice flowers, as long as it's not in my veg patch!!

                      A weed is just a plant in the wrong place so there are many that I love at the sides of the road for their pretty flowers and leaves but hate in the garden.

                      Some of us live in the past, always talking about back then. Some of us live in the future, always planning what we are going to do. And, then there are those, who neither look behind or ahead, but just enjoy the moment of right now.

                      Which one are you and is it how you want to be?

                        Look right into one of those tiny flowers of the blue speedwell......lovely
                        or at a poppy- just how red are they, and the petal and leaf texture...
                        yep i'm nuts!!!!

                        ever looked at a horse chestnut flower? do it next year if not!
                        very nuts

                          Those white daisies - ox-eye daisies - we used to call dog-daisies as kids. My favourite name for them is Moon-pennies.

                          I love cross-wort. Quite insignificant but lovely little yellow flowers.

                              What's the one that smells like a gents public toilet? It looks quite nice, but smells somethin awful. Cow's parsnip or something...
