Looking for Blooms

Did you ever notice how beautiful the blossoms of ordinary wildflowers can be? Although their sheer numbers sometimes keep us from really noticing or appreciating them, many are striking enough to rival plants we deliberately cultivate. With that thought in mind, here are some of my favorite “weeds” that are scattered throughout our yard and gardens here.


Red Clover

Daisy

Forget-Me-Not

Blue Columbine

Buttercup

Mulberry

Yellow Paintbrush

Red Paintbrush

Blue Grass

Fleabane

There’s no late with Garden Bloggers’ Bloom Day. All are welcome to join in! I think your “weeds” are quite pretty, and that sure looks like fleabane to me, but I’m not an expert on weeds!

And through your participation, I am happy to have found your blog. I’ll check to read more posts!
