This week I found our front gate festooned with finery... Yes, it IS a WEED... and I love it. Baby was at the gate barking, I walked up to shut her up, and there it was, covered in tiny little yellow flowers.
I ran walked fast for the camera and came back and said to Bob
"Come see this amazing weed" his reply
"It is one of those weeds that stinks and takes over"
MadSnapper replies.. "do NOT touch that weed until I tell you to.
and I spent 3 days SNAPPING..
Don't fret.... there is MORE TO COME... this weed has something I have never seen before, it has its very own ORNAMENTS
...to be continued.
your fence festooned with finery was a fabulous find that you obviously had fun with :)
ReplyDeletePretty photos and I'm anxious to see part II!
ReplyDeleteNice pics, specially the last two
ReplyDeleteI love yellow and this is a pretty flower. I wish I could wear yellow but it doesn't look very good on me.
ReplyDeleteHugs Madi and Mom
Patience pays out!

I wonder what this weed is!
ReplyDeleteHi
ReplyDeleteI reached your blog through TWG. You have posted some very enchanting pictures here. I loved them all. Please do visit my blog at your leisure. Regards Ram
I LOVE the weed....er FLOWER, and the last picture is stunning!!! I love the way it was folded up, and in the fourth picture it looks like a seashell! I hope you can find out what it is...it is a vine of some kind.
ReplyDeleteI love the shape of the leaves. I'm imagining Bob skulking nearby--waiting for you to finish your "snapping" so he can do some "snipping"!!
ReplyDeleteBest,
Bonnie
Our yard is so dry and brown...I would even take a green weed. ;)

That last picture - is it the same flower/weed in the earlier picture? It was kind of pretty. sandie
ReplyDeleteEven the most undesirable, can produce beautiful fruit. (Isn't that deep?)
ReplyDeleteDid snipping follow snapping, Sandra. The flower reminded me of some sort of primrose, which would open in sunlight and die by night. If yours survives cutting, maybe you can learn it's name.
ReplyDeleteit is a pretty thing!
ReplyDeleteI know you love yellow flowers so whatever this one is I'm sure it's welcome in your yard. That last photo is so pretty with the textured petals with frilly edges. It looks almost unreal like one of those silk flowers that's worn on a lapel.
ReplyDeleteOne person's weed is another's flower.
ReplyDeleteEnjoy.
That first comment cracked me up! LOL! Ornaments? I can't imagine what we'll see next!
ReplyDeleteooooooo.....gorgeous! Isn't it amazing what we get from some weeds?
ReplyDeleteI'm always baffled by weeds. Some of them are really lovely, so who labelled them weeds?
ReplyDeleteI like the gate weed, its really pretty.

The flowers are beautiful. Why is it that weeds have such pretty flowers and such bad habits?
ReplyDeleteI like it when weeds are this beautiful! I really like its leaves, even.
ReplyDeleteWell, it is certainly a lot prettier than a dandelion.
ReplyDeleteI like this weed. Some of the prettiest flowers I've seen were weeds, including spiderwort, which we encouraged to grow in our back yard. It doesn't anymore, though. :(
ReplyDeleteI don't know who decided which ones would be labeled weeds...such pretty yellow flowers...
ReplyDeleteFor a weed, it is gorgeous... I love yellow --and see alot of yellow in the Fall.. Hope you get enough photos before Bob tears it all down!!!!
ReplyDeleteHugs,
Betsy
I'm usually not a fan of weeds, but I will admit that you got some great pictures of the yellow flowers. I can hardly wait to see what you have planned for your next post.
ReplyDeleteFor a weed this sure is pretty, of course weeds usually are. That yellow flower is too beautiful to be on a weed however. Can't wait to see the ornaments.
ReplyDeleteso pretty! looking forward to more!!
ReplyDeleteLooks like a form of morning glory?
ReplyDeleteinteresting weed/flower. Gotta love the weeds. :)
ReplyDeleteThe blossoms in early stage are unusual, too.
ReplyDeleteyou know i love weeds. so pretty!
ReplyDeletei want more!
A weed hmmmm. To be continued you say. Your weeds look like what people have in gardens. Amazing.
