APAD:The difference between a flower and a weed is... ...

“The difference between a flower and a weed is judgement.” Wayne Dyer

Sure, some weeds are unattractive, invasive, annoying, and some are just downright dangerous. But, some weeds can be beautiful and have admirable qualities. Wildflower gardens are made up of plants that would be considered weeds in a manicured rose garden. At the end of the day, it’s up to you to decide!

Most of the wildflowers we see growing at the roadside are non-native species. Some are thought of as weeds, and some are invasive, but, as Lorraine Johnson, the author of numerous books on local habitat gardening sees it, the wildflowers and other native plants have an important job to do. “There’s a strong connection between the loss of native plants in our landscape and the loss of pollinators, which are losing their food source.”

One day left, 've to carry on my gardening project. Fellow Canadians, hope you've enjoyed your Victory Day long weekend so far and keep enjoying the rest of your long weekend.

• 要用開水先焯一下，不然會很苦。蒲公英是“藥草皇後”，清肺、利嗽化痰、散結消癰、養陰涼血、舒筋固齒等。藥性還比較平和。；） -最西邊的島上- ♀ (0 bytes) () 05/20/2024 postreply 16:07:47
