I once bought “native flowers” at a garden nursery and my neighbor told me they were weeds ! I’ve seen photos of fields of dandelions that were allowed to grow (on purpose) & are
beautiful…..
I so appreciate you asking B. I am in one of those Life Happens phases……joy and sorrow, good and bad distractions. I have been away from reading and writing and feel unbalanced because of it…. but soon….this too will pass. Hugs to you and thank you again
Thank you for this. I’m engaged in a battle to thwart overwhelming anxiety; reminders like this move me out of my brain and into the many glories of the external world.
I am glad this meant something to you and I send you warm thoughts and hope you may have the opportunity to be nourished by the beauty of nature. It is amazingly healing for me . And I must say, even your comments are astoundingly beautiful. You are the finest wordsmith.
My garden and I have come to an agreement. I won’t disturb her plans by removing the weeds – they are as Marvin says flowers growing in the wrong place.
Yes yes yes! Love this.
Thank you Lisa!

Yes, in my mind ther’re the most important flowers
It is only when our eyes are truly open do we see those gems
Of course they are! I love the dandelions that grow free and wild in my garden.
Who decided dandelions were weeds? My garden is graced with many too!
Why, yes they are!
Yes inded patti–I hope I never forget it!
So true!

I think I like weeds more than formal gardens…..and the same goes for people too! Thanks MJ.
So true! How is everything out your way Stacia? Hope all is well.

I love this thought and wish I had thought of it myself because it is so true.
They’re only weeds because somebody said they were. How do we know somebody was right?
I have wondered that exact thing many, many times

Well said because beauty comes in many forms.
Amen, Bella. Amen.
Great photo. My daughter loves dandelions. She calls them her ‘pretty flowers’. I suppose they are a nice yellow!
Beautiful.
Lovely.
As if I needed another excuse not to do yard work. I’m indebted to you, Bella.
I always thought dandelions looked like spots where the sun spit.
Weeds are just flowers that are growing in the wrong place.

Great photo to a great quote. Beauty definitely comes down to the eyes that see – and if you want to see there is beauty in everything.
I haven’t been able to keep up with my garden for the past month, and the weeds are winning. I’ll try to think kindly of them!
It almost seems like the quote should be a thought bubble for the butterfly.
