I hear the Native Americans didn't have a word for weeds. I couldn't bear to use pesticides so it all grows in my yard too but doesn't look nearly as pretty as all your lovely stuff.

Worth publishing, if you as me. I have a mental image of you lying flat in the grass getting that shot. Bravo! Hey, it's your grass. Do what you want with it. Michael cuts ours a little shorter in the spring but very high in the summer. If it's green and alive, that's all that matters. Pam, the 6th photo of the dandelion is FANTASTIC!

So THAT'S what it's called! We have more henbit than we do grass. And screw the "lawn-lovers". A perfectly manicured, weed-free lawn is boring. And it's also fascist and unnatural. : ) Henbit?

It's better for the environment and better for the lawn.

You're like me in that weeds are more a natural beauty than manicured lawns and pruned hedges. I'm always fond of henbit. Purple's my favorite color, so how could I not be smitten by this stunning little mint? And I thought I was the only one in the world who loves dandelions! I've always thought they were beautiful, delightful plants, whether flowering or in seed or otherwise. Much of that stems from childhood and the memories that go along with the plant, mind you, and their innate beauty, but I've always found myself in the minority when it comes to adoring them.

I'm glad you let the lawn flowers grow. When I put a lawn in before we sold our last house, I tried to add some lawn daisies to it. I wonder if they took! :) Your lawn is lovely!
