Today, I am showing some unusual flowers. You will see why in a bit. Do you love this blue color?
This is the same one with a Bee Fly adding to the show.
This is a different one. Check out the color in the top of the flower. Aren't they just beautiful?
Well, here is the place I took the close-ups. Yes, the first two are wild Bachelor Buttons / Cornflowers and the last one is a Burdock plant in the center that makes the burrs that attach to your clothes and dog's fur. We would normally call them weeds along side the road near one of my favorite spots little Fish Creek.
The beauty of flowers is in the eye of the beholder.

I love those colors for flowers! Great close-ups!
How right you are! After all a weed is just a flower growing in the wrong place. We have lots of weeds in our garden - quite intentionally. Goodness knows what the neighbours think!
These are so beautiful...
Those are beautiful shots of the flower. I always call anything I don't plant a volunteer because sometimes the volunteer flowers (weeds by any other name) are my favorites.
Beautiful, I love the second one with the Bee fly. He is different from the ones I am seeing here, great shot.
Have a wonderful day,

Fantastic trail of beautiful flowers !! So colorful..Loved this one..Unseen Rajasthan
Fishing Guy I love them both! I drink Burdock root tea..good for cleansing the liver and bladder of toxins! Every healthfood store would sell it in bulk! Tastes sweet!
Really beautiful flowers! I wish you a nice week!
Love the cornflowers and thistles! Beautiful!
Stunning, my friend. I love these. They brighten our fields and roadsides.
That first one looks as delicate as crepe paper! :)
Nice shots FG.
Lovely lavender blossoms for sure! No wonder the bee found it inviting.
Hugs and blessings,
Wonderful closeups! And I love that pale blue flower, it looks so fragile! The weeds I know well! They are growing everywhere, and my little dog always have 10 - 20 of them attached to him, after a walk during autumn. But - they are quite pretty when they bloom!
Wish you a great week!
Fantastic macros! Thanks for bringing me to your memes. I'm enjoying them very much!
makes me feel I'm out in field walking sandy
I think weeds that bloom-are among the prettiest flowers.
That is so true, Tom... I'm looking at more things now than I ever did before. All of those 'weeds' now are gorgeous flowers... How 'bout that????

There are some lovely blooming wildflowers and weeds. Great shots! (I have a wild milkweed that somehow got planted in one of my front yard beds. I am going to make sure it doesn't go to seed, but leave it to see if any Monarchs find it.)
Wow, truly superb.
Beautiful blooms.
The weeds can be beautiful too, if only we pay them a second look! these are gorgeous!
Splendid close-ups, Fishing Guy!
I think you've used the macro mode, haven't you?
Seeing these lifts my spirits.
lovely wildflower photos~
Hello Tom. Sorry I am late in posting comments but I was away for the weekend. I recognised te first one immediately as we have cornflowers here too. I find that bees are very much attracted to flowers of this color.
Wildflowers are great too. That first one looks like a Chickory flower.
I especially like how you framed the first one! What a gorgeous splash of blue!
Beautiful flower shots, Tom. I have thought a lot about that concept. At one time I had to mow every part of my lot, but then I developed a taste for seeing the "weeds" and leave a portion of the lot as a reverting meadow to promote the growth of them. I also planted a commercial wildflower mix and will post shots of them later if they grow, but the rabbits and woodchucks may have something to say about that.
You captured those quite nicely.
Fishing,
Interesting and wonderful series!
Beautiful flowers and colors.
Thanks for posting for TODAY'S FLOWERS.

Those cornflowers have the most interesting petals, and the filaments in the top shot look a little like spider legs, don't they? Thanks for braving the burrs to get up close and personal with these beauties.
Tom-Great Photo's...the flowers are right up my "hippy" style ally! And they are so vibrant with life...thanks for sharing :D
