Michelle- No idea what they are but your beautiful picture is a great example of the beauty and fasinating shapes and designs of even a weed. You show such wonderful textures that they have, love their soft colors, and the angled shot you took. A beautiful presentation of these weeds that show us the beauty they have.
Outstanding work my friend.
Have a wonderful day, take care. #7539747

This is really beautiful, Michelle!
The tones are just lovely! :-)

But a weed is simply a plant that wants to grow where people want something else. In blaming nature, people mistake the culprit. Weeds are people's idea, not nature's. ~Author Unknown ~ #7553756

So beautifully captured, Michelle!!! These weeds were everywhere when I was a child and it really bothers me that I don't know what they are. :O/ Now I have to do a search... BTW, we would pick them, fold the lower stem over just behind the seed head, pull and shoot them like rockets. Amazing what kids in the '50s did for entertainment! #7592404

Wanda B. Anderson June 03, 2009

Took me 25 minutes, but I was successful in my search! It is Buckhorn Plantain. #7592478

Michelle Alton June 03, 2009

Yes it IS!!! Another friend, who grew up in Virginia ID'd it recently -- and I quickly misplaced its name in my brain! He remembers making necklaces for his sisters from these flowers. I wonder why, of all pretty weeds, this one is the source of so much childhood fascination! #7592491

Wanda B. Anderson June 11, 2009

....buttercup chains, etc. We worked with what we had and you didn't hear us say, "I'm bored". :O) #7618859
