"Weeds"

Weeds are a part of every garden at least for a short time. Though they are not intended to be a part of the "color" in the garden, they can provide small delights in their daintiness and color up close. This delightful lavender weed seems to delight in multiple blossoms. And the buttercup yellow weed seems to continue to add blossom after blossom as up the step it goes, each a perfect little orchid shaped flower. Of course, there are the old standbys of yellow goldenrod, so brilliant in the later part of summer and the Queen Ann's Lace always appearing around mid to late July reminding me to slow down and enjoy the summer abundance like lace curtains blowing in the windows from a summer breeze.
