Wildflower: A flowering plant that grows without cultivation.This is a journal of my discovery of wildflowers, which not only will provide my memory (since the biological memory is failing more and more,) but also can be a valuable record as to when certain wildflowers will be in bloom.

I love these tiny flowers

Mia – I like the flowers, too, but not the plant. When they first arrived in my yard a number of years ago, I thought “What a lovely flowering ground cover” and I made the mistake of letting it stay. Now it is trying to take over my entire yard. It puts down roots at the nodes, and so you’ve got to pull it carefully or you’ll leave little rooted pieces behind.
