A still life:
Butterweed and Japanese Iris
Or why the fields are yellow.
I guess these were both weeds at one time, but are they now? The butterweed certainly is when it is in a farmers field, but is it a weed when it is in a vase? I first saw the Japanese Iris in a large crack in a sidewalk. A weed? Certainly not in my yard.
Rosalie Fisher I just pulled a stray butterweed out of my garden yesterday. I have to admit those flowers are pretty, but I don't want a whole garden of them next year. |
