A “weed” and a self set that caught both the sun and my eye today.

Always loved Borage blue colour.

Found in a patch of poor uncultivated soil, iPad doesn’t do them justice.

I have a similar approach to weeds/wildlife in the sense that whatever wants
to grown along my borders can grow along my borders and this is what we have
today.... nettles, Long grasses and that one with the yellow flowers is wild

Had loads of common orchids last year, amongst the nettles and brambles.

They taste nice too, a subtle sweet taste. Pinch the stamens and pull. Pop in
a salad or G&T.

Ahhh that's another good argument! One can't plant pizza trees!

But then NubsGPT will provide a picture to demonstrate the contrary

Somewhere it grows, but that is a protected secret, for some wish to destroy

Very nicely worded.

We sometimes forget the meaning of "weed" It's simply a wild plant
growing where it is not wanted and in competition with cultivated plants. Nothing
to do with it's potential beauty or even usefulness. They can become "wanted"
or appreciated after establishing themselves without our leave in other words

  Always loved Borage blue colour.

It's a nice color

Very nice color.

I also let "weeds" grow here around my house in Michigan. But my brother-in-law
always seems to cut them down when he mows the lawn

Hard to transplant them roots and all.

I mentioned Wayne Dyer before, here's one of my favourite quotes from him:

The only difference between a flower and a weed is a judgement
