While out watching the bluebirds today I noticed this weed in the yard. We get these every year but they are so small, the lawnmower always takes care of them.
I took a macro photo and decided to research and identify. And I found it fairly easily, as it is very common around pasture land. The weed is in the daisy family and is called annual fleabane. What a strange name. They grow in small clusters all over the yard.
Some weeds make very attractive flowers. I might try to keep the lawnmower away from this one in the future.

This macro is the tip. Many weeds have beautiful colors – for example, Dandelion and Donkey Thorn
Yes we have too many dandelion but have not heard of the other.
wow, I’ve never seen this (well I might have but not noticed it). Amazing flower picture, CaroL!!!
Thanks, I will take another of the entire flowers and you might recognize it. They are sort of like little daisies.
I think this weed grows with us … I’m not sure
I will take a larger photo so you can see the entire weed.
I do think I’ve seen them in the past. I just can’t recall.
I do not even know if it will help me … we’ll see
all weeds are plants, and in nature no plants are weeds
I have to agree with that statement. However there are some, like dandelions that will literally take over your yard. They are hard to get rid of. And will appear the same day you mow sometimes.
I hate dandelions, but then I hate lawns as well…
Beautiful photos for beautiful flowers. There are no weeds of this kind in my place.
Thanks Albert. You are lucky to not have any weeds.
What? There were so many weeds in my garden that I had to clean them often because they grew very fast. I just have never seen the kind you share here.
Some weeds are just as beautiful as flowers. I think I have not seen this weed yet.
Yes I have to agree with you.
There are these flowers in my area. In shades of pink, and white. Beautiful photo!
I have not seen them in other colors. Thanks!
Thank you so much for simply making me smile on a day that I really needed to smile.
You are very welcome. 🙂
Yes, some weeds are beautiful! This one is too!
Maybe I should switch to growing weeds if my garden is not doing too well…
haha, they won’t die that easily, right?
Thanks, it is in the daisy family. You are right, they will be easy to grow!
