Beautiful Weeds

As a society, we are made to see weeds as the enemy, much like stains actually. They must be eradicated. You only have to walk into the garden centre to find hundreds of types of weed killer, all with horrible chemicals in them. Anything which you spray in the garden which says keep away from children and animals has to be bad. But whats so bad about a few weeds? This one I found in my garden (don't tell my mother, she would be horrified!) is like a nettle with tiny purple little flowers. Isn't it time that we stopped fighting these little things and started admiring them. You have to appreciate nature's resilience; no matter how much cement or chemicals we put in its path, these things always find a way.
