They Call Them Weeds

Plantago major, Common Plantain



Eurybia divaricata, White Wood Aster



A horticultural mum snuck into the foreground.



Eupatorium (Eutrochium - It seems they have changed the name) purpureum, Ageratina altissima, Rudbeckia hirta



A vast collection of weeds gather late summer color and sway in the breeze.



Lycopodium digitatum, Running-Ceder



Eupatorium or Eutrochium fistulosum



Solidago nemoralis perhaps, one of several species present.



Ironweed, Vernonia novaboracensis



Where some people only see weeds
I dream



Of the garden to be.



Filled with raw materials. Only needing a little more selection and organization.

I have seen your "weeds" & thought them pretty even as a child. I think they are natures beauty for this time of yr.

That plantain is healthy looking. It is so big. The plantain in my garden is in the lawn so it is mowed to a short height. You have plenty of raw material here for waves of color. Dream on.
