Growing a few weeds in my garden. This is the common Orange Hawkweed, Hieracium aurantiacum, or Fox and Cubs, for obvious reasons. It may only be a wild weed, but it does make a show.

These flowers grew wild in my grandparents' home in northern Ohio. As little kids, we would pick them along with all sorts of other wildflowers. But I don't recall the flowers being quite as large as yours in the pictures. Could be a different variety. I agree with @HippieChick, "weeds" are plants where you don't want them. There are a couple weeds I either grow or would like to grow in my garden.

They are perhaps not quite as big as the photo makes them seem, but they do have fluffy thistledown heads of seeds as well.
I define weeds as any plant growing where I don't want it. I don't think these are weeds at all.

Posted by MsKathleenQuite frankly, most tea bags from the market are toxic, so it would be best to cut the used tea bags open and incorporate the used tea leaves into the soil. [gardeningsoul.com]

Posted by FernappleI think that the veg plot is looking good now, but sadly it will probably never look like one of my near neighbour's.
