Dandelion and Violet blooming together stir the ire of many a gardener. They are unwanted, unwelcome creatures in the garden. But a weed is only a “weed” when it grows where it is unwelcome. Indeed weeds tend to be hardy and prolific making them difficult to eradicate from the garden. I am grateful for their presence in the parklands where profuse weeding is financially impractical. They are beautiful in their own right. Look closely and enjoy them since they are not in your garden. Copyright 2019 Pamela Breitberg
