‘Weeds’ can give some of the most beautiful and unusual flowers!
After the primroses and the wood anemones along the fence in spring, my favorites are the English daisies, which bloom all over everyone’s grass from February to November (actually, this year, because it was relatively warm, I could find some all winter).
Who would think of these as weeds when you see them together in a vase like this? So pretty – thanks for sharing
They all make long-lasting, if tiny, cut flowers — except for the dandelions, which will have to be replaced this morning.
Weeds in name only – they make a lovely vase, Cindy! Many years ago, my stepfather produced an embroidery piece for me with the following quote from Tennyson: “Once in a golden hour I cast to earth a seed, Up there grew a flower, the people said a weed.” I still have it.
Wonderful quote!
I was pleased to see how “substantial” these very small flowers looked when I put the lens very close.
a little portion of delight!
They really are. Thanks so much for visiting today.
Just proves we don’t need a special cut flower bed to produce a vase sometimes.
Absolutely!
Love your bouquet. I’ve always thought that adults need to ooh and aah when children bring them dandelions as it is usually the first time they’ve noticed flowers.
