Some people call them weeds. A lot of us call them “wildflowers.” Those of us who live in more rural locations, where it doesn’t make sense to try and have a “lawn” of any size, usually see a lot of these whenever we get some rain, and are too lazy busy to mow.
I had to get out my field guide and look up the names of some of these, so I thought I’d get fancy and use the scientific name as the file name, and the common name for the caption. So if you are the least bit interested in knowing the “official” name for any of these, just park your cursor on the picture and it will show up.
