Weeds

When I had lived here a year or two, my neighbor asked me when I was going to mow those weeds down in my front yard.  I said,"I'm waiting for those little flowers that came up to stop flowering first."  He said, "Those aren't flowers.  Those are weeds."  I said, "Weeds are flowers you don't want and I like those.  I'm not mowing until they finish blooming."



They are called Star of Bethlehem and they are NC wildflowers.  They are all in my grass and flower beds, managing to bloom even when their leaves have been mown.   Or weedeaten.


Even with plants, it's all a matter of perspective.
