Author Garden: What is this - weed? ms8miranda Great Gardener Member # 2422 posted                       This 'weed' grows in the same spot in my back yard every year. The bloom is yellow, daisy-like. The bloom doesn't open very often but maybe that's because I don't take care of it like a plant I'm actually trying to grow. I know it's a bit hard to make it out in the pic because of all the background grass but maybe someone will recognize it.

I stop to admire the vibrant colors of all living things. And people think me odd.

I especially recognized that seed head - I actually saved it because I thought I might try to grow these in my garden. Is that a bad idea???

But, I would be afraid it would take over! * * * * Happiness, like a dessert so sweet.

Member # 772 posted                       Yeah, it's pretty, but has seeds like a dandelion.. so, when the wind blows, so do they all over your yard.... If you had one flower, it wouldn't be bad. I personally love yellow flowers, and I let them grow and the kids blow them around, and I'm alright with it... but I'm a weed person...I love my weeds!!! Some people aren't... personal preference.... * * * * Weezie Don't forget to be kind to strangers.
