Weeds
Thistle
Tansy (named after a weed herself) is quite fond of weeds. She and Tatty strolled about the neighbourhood to see what was growing on the verges these days – they found thistles…

Beach Pea
…and beach peas (pretty but unscented)…

Chicory Girl
She says Chicory flowers match her eyes!
Queen Anne’s Lace
Tansy likes the Queen Anne’s Lace,
Delicate blossoms
which has very delicate umbels of pretty white flowers.

Tansy and Tatty picked a few stems of Queen Anne’s lace,
Ladybird Larva
and they brought home a little hitchhiker in the bouquet!

Quimper Hittys 
One woman’s weeds…what a delightful ramble through the verge – a pleasant counterpoint to the previously haiku-ed, and lovely, bouquet of roses. I am so grateful for the variety!
We like hothouse, garden, and wild flowers – and weeds!
It’s nice to see the girls getting out into the sunshine even if it is in the weeds. You know that weeds are just misplaced flowers. Denise
You are right – that’s a good way to deal with weeds in the garden!
So interesting to see what wild things grow in Tansy and Tatty’s world. We have some of the same altho sadly no beach peas! Thank you for another delightful ramble!
We love the beach peas, but always feel like something is missing as they have no sweet scent at all!
These are beautiful photos…the colors are so rich and with the Hittys’pretty clothing colors to go along with the nature delights, well, you’ve made another lovely narrative of life with the Quimper Hittys.
The light was good yesterday when I took the photographs – overcast but bright, so everything was saturated – Tatty and Tansy had a delightful ramble!
So much fun to go on a Nature walk with the Quimper Hittys! 🙂
So very glad you could come along with us!
Who says weeds aren’t pretty? Looks like they found some beautiful ones on their stroll round the neighbourhood today.
It is fun to see things through a Hitty’s eyes – somehow the world is more beautiful!
the weeds are flourishing despite the lack of water – the girls appreciate flowers whether weeds or roses. I haven’t seen many aphids for the ladybirds to feed on.
Just last weekend I had to wash the willow tree with soapy water to try and reduce the aphids. It seemed to me that the entire population of aphids in Victoria had come to feast on the sap!
