Re: Bright Weeds!

I love the Scarlet Pimpernel, it's such a dainty little flower...

Re: Bright Weeds!

Mother Nature does no produce a weed, it is just another plant in the wrong place.

Re: Bright Weeds!

I love the common cranesbill or perenial geranium - it can grow anywhere - if it is in your garden it is a plant, in the hedgerow it is a weed. I am also very fond of the foxglove and the poppy, which are now quite trendy plants to have in the garden. Are these also weeds when they come up in the wrong place.

Re: Bright Weeds!

I love to see poppies in the garden, they brighten any bare patch.

Another favourite is the buttercup and the celendine.....
