I have seen photos of plants on these 7 pages however I don't know where the weeds are. In order for it to fit the definition of a weed you'd need to explain why you don't want it growing where it is.

What makes a plant a weed?
It's not about the intrinsic desirability of the plant, but the place of where it's growing, which makes a plant a weed. A plant may be a weed to some people , but not in others.

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
A weed is a plant considered undesirable in a particular situation, "a plant in the wrong place".

WRITTEN BY
The Editors of Encyclopaedia Britannica
Weed, general term for any plant growing where it is not wanted.

p.7 Love the cattails. Now, why wouldn't I ever think to catch them on angle instead of directly vertical?

Some weeds that bring color or character to an image. None were intentionally planted and some can be invasive choking out hay for cattle or turning important bogs into dry land by sucking out the water of the bog - upsetting an entire eco system (responding to the previous definition of a weed - and I do concur, but it's a pain to try and explain why I consider each a weed)
