Some of my favorite subjects are NATIVE WEEDS! They are available all year long and make excellent subjects...some as blooms, some as foliage, others as dried flowers.
I would like to share a few with you that appealed to me. All were shot as "close-ups".
Feel free to post any of yours!

Nice to hear from a SC neighbor...I spent a lot of my early life in NC. Goldenrod has always been an integral part of my butterfly garden...it is frequently deemed responsible for the fall allergies, but the real culprit seems to be Ragweed instead. See link below.

Glad you came by! Like your sense of humor!

Some of them are bee or butterfly friendly, so not really a weed. Some like clover make great soft ground cover.
