Type of potato flowers. This one is very tiny.
Probably Solanum Nigrum (wiki)
I was amazed to learn potatoes, eggplants, tomatos are all included in this Solanum family and flowers are all very similar.
* I like birds but this is not a bird
You will never find this flower in a shop....or a bride's bouquet...it's a quiet weed not much loved

My neighbor in back of my yard has an very large lot full of every kind of weed known to man, I think. Consequently, the garden in the corner of my yard is very hard to maintain, always full of unwanted plants (i.e. "weeds") that creep over, blow over or, are carried over by birds.
Here, a Green Bottle Fly rests on a dandelion amid a sea of rhizomous plants that are very hard to remove.
I don't know why I thought it was a good idea to stand in the drizzle to take this picture, but the water droplets may look interesting.
A close-up of Butterfly Weed, a type of milkweed with clusters of bright orange flowers that attract numerous butterflies. Photographed at Thomas Mitchell Park near Mitchellville, Iowa.

A little weed in a crack between the asphalt and concrete at the entrance of a city carpark. There's a trace of green, so it's still hanging on.
Pontederia cordata (Pickerel weed), an aquatic, rhizomatic plant colonizing marshes, wetlands and swamps. 2 yellow dots on the tiny flowers attract bees. Can become invasive in perfect conditions; however, it also filters polluted waters. Sheldon Lake State Park. Texas.
The common name, pickerel weed, may have come about due to an ancient belief that certain marsh plants could spontaneously spawn fish, specifically pike and pickerel. Musing about spontaneous generation (a belief in the creation of animals from inanimate objects, such as mice generated spontaneously from the cheese and grains left in a "sealed" bag) Izaak Walton, in his oft-republished book from 1653 “The Compleat Angler”, www.smithsonianmag.com/smart-news/obscure-fishing-book-on... wrote: “… this weed and other glutinous matter, with the help of the Sun’s heat in some particular Months, and some Ponds apted for it by nature, do become Pikes.”
I went to the park to take flower pictures but it was closed. So, I photographed this weed from my yard.

Playing again this morning with saved treasures from the summer. I am using my an old i-pad as the background and light. Experimenting is fun and frustrating.I need to find a better technique to place the drops I put one on and it drips off. There are some amazing photos of weed or dandelion seeds so I used those as inspiration. I am sure I'll try this some other day.
Formosa Lily Lilium formosanum.
I pull the flower heads off whenever I see them but I took a photo of this one first.
Having always admired the soft white flowers of a newly blossomed Queen Anne's Lace weed, I was stunned at the intricate structure of the plant in its later stage of life. The tiny seeds are covered in tiny barbed hooks so they can attach to passing animal fur or even people's clothes. As the plant begins to die, the flower head will eventually break off and the cluster of seeds will become a tumbleweed....moving along the ground by the force of the wind. Talk about spreading the wealth!
