I’m playing among the flowers. -Colman Domingo

“A weed is but an unloved flower.” ― Ella Wheeler Wilcox

Yellow Sweetclover

“A flower doesn’t lose its beauty because weeds mocked it.” ― Matshona Dhliwayo

Yellow Sweetclover

“If you see a dandelion as a weed, you’ll spray it. If you see it as a flower, you’ll draw it close, turn it this way and that, and become lost in the colossal burst of slender golden petals that spew sunshine into the darkest of souls. And so, how many things have we sprayed that could have illuminated our souls if we would have let them be more than what we let them be?” ― Craig D. Lounsbrough

Mustard

“Feuds are weeds… Once it’s grown roots, it’s harder to dig up; and it’s far easier to spread.”
― Emory R. Frie, Giant Country

Buckhorn Plantain

“Don’t plant weeds in your garden if you are only hoping for flowers to grow.” ― Anthony T. Hincks

Field Pennycress/Fanweed

“They’re just weeds, love, they don’t belong anywhere.’ Her granddaughter stuck out her bottom lip and furrowed her brow. ‘That doesn’t seem very nice. Everything belongs somewhere.” ― Kathryn Hughes, The Letter
