Favorite Garden Photo

Gardening Gone Wild hosts a monthly photo contest. I've been ooooohing and ahhhhhing over the gorgeous entries for nearly a year, but never entered a photo of my own. This month the theme is favorite garden photo. I have loads of favorites, so I had a hard time deciding which to enter, but I finally made a decision and here it is....



Unfortunately, weeds are a large part of gardening. Fortunately, some weeds are stunning in their own right, while others are whimsical.  It's when the less-loved become invasive and overtake all the wonderful plants we desire in the garden that their names become tarnished. 

Weeds are flowers, too, once you get to know them.

    I have never 'bought' the weed/flower distinction.

  4. I realise I haven't been all the way to your blog for a while. Following you in a reader, and I see you have a new look, and a new header.
    That's what I love about blogging - I write about naming 'cows' and you write back about Ruthie!

  5. Diana...you make me laugh! Our cow named Ruthie, was named for my mil. I can't remember why though. It has been awhile since I've seen you in these parts. Don't be a stranger!

  6. That is stunning. So silky; such wonderful texture and so full of light.

  7. Thank you, Bee! I thought it looked like a fairy trying to escape the crowd. Growing up, dandelion seeds floating through the air were called fairies. If we caught one, made a wish, and let it go, our wish might come true.
