Heads or Tails - Flowers


Today's theme is:

HEADS - Flower

Every spring I really enjoy seeing these flowers along the roadsides. Last year I was pleasantly surprised to find some in my front flowerbed, though slightly disappointed that mine bloomed white, while I really, really like the purple ones. This year, I got purple!

Along the railroad tracks last spring:


In my flowerbed this spring:
purple
Purple (after the) Rain

Since they grow wild everywhere, maybe some people would consider these a weed? I choose to consider them beautiful flowers, and I'm happy to have them to enjoy, however they came to live in my flowerbed.

  8. Those are gorgeous! I love the purple color, and there are a lot of weeds that I think are pretty enough that half the time I don't even realize it's a weed until someone says so :)
