Poster: retro (see this users gallery) I thought it was about time that someone put in a good word for the weeds! A weed is simply a wild flower growing in the wrong place though, to me, some of them are definitely in the right place and that place is in my garden. Just see how pretty they are, each in its own special way, from the majestic foxglove to the humble little daisy. My garden is a sea of wild forget-me-nots every spring and it's always such a thrill to discover the tiny scented violet growing in a shady corner of the lawn. Mary´s QP is so pretty, I think it's the perfect setting for my lovelyweeds.

What a pretty page! I love foxgloves although I have never had any success with them. I have lots of those pretty little violets in my yard too....not in the garden but in the yard

We often dont appreciate the joy in the small flowers that are freely given to us in nature... If it flowers, I love it! Pretty photos!!

Very pretty page, I love your weeds, I have the little violets in my yard, (not planted) and although I love them it means bees are going to be bad this year. This is a very pretty quickpage, I love the bold blue colors. Great job!

Helen, your weeds are gorgeous =). Wish my weeds looked like that. All I seem to get is grass in the flower beds, although I do have alot of Johnny Jumpups in my front lawn.
