Color Challenge - Sunday Purple - Weeds?

in colorchallenge •  7 years ago 


Delicately Purple


Walking back to the car after a party for my grandson's first birthday I spotted these delicate purple weeds growing in the cracks of some steps.

These little flowers grow in any spare crevice they can find but I thought they looked particularly pretty here, with the contrast of the fresh green and old straw like grass.

I'm always fascinated by flowers that are considered to be weeds as, like these, they are often quite pleasing. It just seems to be their abundance that gets them classed as weeds. It doesn't seem fair really does it? 😊

I think it's not a weed. The flowers are beautiful.

Agreed! Thanks for visiting @kneelyrac. 😊

so pretty! I read somewhere that technically the definition of a weed is simply a plant that's growing where it shouldn't be. when i was younger, i'd go around thinking "well i want all these dandelions here, so technically they're not weeds!" and tbh i still think that today haha. so if you want them there, t hey're not weeds! thanks for sharing the picture. its crazy how well mother nature color coordinates

I like that definition @corinneiskorean. 😁 Thanks for visiting.

Nice purple with good content :)

Glad you like it @seckorama. 😊

Okay, so my guess is, the weather held. You had a wonderful party in the garden. :)

Yep. The weather held. Sort of @glenalbrethsen. If was lovely in the garden for the first couple of hours but then the mist rolled in from the sea (or the haar as John likes to call it) so we moved inside.

Their other Nana's house is open plan though so there was plenty of room for everyone! 😊

Dear this little flowers are so beautiful and cutes ♥

thank you @denissemata! 😊

I agree that this flower should not be regarded as weeds. I have also seen many beautiful weeds in my place. But weeds are weeds. I think if the size of the flowers are bigger, people would not think they are weeds.

Interesting thought @putu300. Thanks for stopping by! 😊

I agree with you that some weeds are just as pretty as flowers , we have some that are a lovely white colour x

😊 Thanks for stopping by @winchestergirl42.

Seems like it @ronyxoxo! 😁

This is lovely Gillian!

Thank you @sharoonyasir.

They say a weed is just a plant in the wrong place... so I'm gonna say no it's not a weed as it looks real nice there and the colors are beautiful :-)

Thank you @raj808.

No. No idea what they are called @watersnake101. Thanks for visiting! 😊
