Been seeing a woodpecker in the tree behind my house all year. Unfortunately, it's always too far away to get a really decent pic with the camera lenses I've got.

You can see part of the arch that we put in the ground and trailed the rose up one side and the clematis (I thought it was a weed!) up the other.


The inability to tell the difference between most flowers and weeds has got me out of gardening for most of my juvenile and adult life  :angel:

Weeds are just flowers growing in the wrong place.

Flowers are weeds that have had a makeover... and better PR...

There again, a weed is something we haven't yet found a commercial use for...

It may be my own more personal take on the term, but, as far as I'm concerned a 'weed' is simply any plant that is in a place you don't want it to be. What otherwise would be a part of a glorious Bermuda lawn, if in the flower bed, gets yanked (is Bermuda grass normally considered a weed? I consider it one if it's in with my Irises!). What otherwise would be a prize winning rose bush, in the middle of a cornfield, could be a weed, too.  ;D  Over the years many of the weeds I'd pull from flower beds were things like tiny trees starting to grow or the starts of other ornamental plants.As I said, this could just be my own interpretation, I'm wrong, and scientifically it's more focused than this, but I'm sticking with my definition.  :angel:

Y'know, that works too.  :thumbsup:
