Throne Of North Carolina Jasmine

Splashy but, Shady Seclusion... Swathed in Simmering-Gold, A

Soothing Site'N Sight .....

Swaying about Serenely...

Spewing Sweet Scent...

.....In a Splash of Spring!

Strewn with Strings of yellow...


Swept in Stormy wind...

Still Smiling, Splendidly...

Sunny or Snowy...

....Staying Steel-green,

Showing off...

.....in a Splash of Spring!

We call em' weeds?

I think they are cute!

As a young botanist, I had always wondered about the issue-whether weeds are friends or foe?

Are they NOT pretty? YOU be the judge!

They remind me of displaced people, trying to survive!

Beautiful in their own right, but less appreciated because they put roots where we do not want them to be!

Weeds! Do they deserve the stigma that comes with what we call them?
