Field of dreams

Field of dreams

I like “weeds” now
White clover and dandelion puddles

My apartment said they were going to spray for weeds last week but didn’t. It got me thinking, and I think I actually like the weeds.

Some sort of lilac
A lot of white clover blooming
More white clover near a rock
Yellow flowers near the road
Birdsfoot Trefoil (Lotus corniculatus

I thought the yellow flowers I saw everywhere were dandelions, but upon closer inspection they appear to be “Birdsfoot Trefoil”.

Pineappleweed (Matricaria discoidea)

I enjoy the weedier weeds too, like this pineapple weed. It reminds me of playing baseball as a child, where this plant would grow on the field.

As a side tangent, trying to google “weed that grows on baseball diamonds” just gives you a bunch of ads for weed removal.

Weeds along the parking lot

I believe the above photo is where they want to spray. From living here for a while, I know this high traffic area can’t support grass, and you can even see how “weeds” make up a solid 90 percent of the greenery. Imagine spraying this area so you can have a bunch of dead grass and exposed dirt.
