Nice shots. A flower is a weed that's been cultivated!

Depends upon who the gardner is.

I have quite a few shot of this subject. Very Nice. I call it a wild flower.

Looks like an Aster, but that is probably wrong. Nice pic though.

Pretty flower. The definition of a weed is, a plant out of place.

It mostly depends on where it happens to pop up - in the garden, it is a "weed". Elsewhere it is a "wildflower". When I lived on the high prairies of Colorado between Denver and Colorado Springs I had five acres around the house. I loved all the wildflowers that grew there. My neighbor kept offering to mow for me....

Aster would be my guess.

Nice shot.
Flower or weed? That all depends on whether or not you want it there. Anything growing where ones doesn’t want it is considered a weed, beautiful bloom or not.

Long ago I heard a definition of a weed: Something growing where you don't want it. Corn that comes up in the beans is weed. In a corn field, it's a crop. This is a wildflower, and they're beautiful.

Looks like a member of the "Aster" family (Asteraceae Compositae) of perennials, of which there are 600 species. They come in dwarf and large sizes and in several colors.

Native plant. But I grow a big patch of them in my backyard.

Whatever it is, it's beautiful and very nicely presented!
