Texas Weeds 09-14-2024
weed
/wēd/
noun
a wild plant growing where it is not wanted and in competition with cultivated plants.
This is a collection of different "weeds" growing in my back yard today. That rain spell a few weeks back brought them all back to life. They are blooming with a vengeance. Of course, since I love all of them, and want them in my yard, by definition, they are not really weeds, but beautiful plants. However, if the same plants pop up in my landscaping, they are weeds. It's all a matter of perspective.
