cut flowers

weeds (looking good)

I love these weeds.  I guess they might not even be weeds.  I am sure they have a name. It’s just that I don’t know what it is as these little plants came with the house.

They just pop up from nothing, and seem to multiply more each year.  And they provide a spot of cheery red in amongst the greenery that turns brownery as a result of the combination of a hot summer and absentee owners for 5 weeks (that’s us of course).

I appreciate a plant that flourishes in such harsh conditions!  Especially when it looks this good cut and in a vase (from the op shop of course).
