Last year I had a weed growing in my flower garden. Not just any weed but one that was huge. I marched right out there and yanked it out. My husband came home and started screaming about me pulling his flower out. I said it is not a flower, it is a damned weed. "It's a flower. If if comes up again let it go." Well I looked out this year and saw this thing growing in my garden again. My husband glared at me and said don't touch that flower. "It's a weed, " I hissed. "It's a flower," he said.
I asked my friend who knows about flowers. Was she any help. She says 'It is a thistle." I said, 'It's a weed." She said, "Well, it all depends on how you look at it. I would leave in the garden with the flowers cause when it blooms, that weed will draw in all kinds of butterflies and hummingbirds."
So the weed will stay. I guess flowers, like beauty is all in the eye of the beholder. *s*

My first thought before I read the post was "thistle". They do flower. Just watch how you grab it.
A weed is just a flower misplaced.
Unless we're talking about kudzu or poison ivy.
Yeah, it's a thistle. Looks like the sticky kind though. Does it turn purple?
not sure what color it will be as it has not turned. In my opinion, it is a weed but i am keeping hubby happy. *s*
