for utata ip186, requirements:
a gift: small flat tin containing tubes of handcream, a birthday gift from a shop though I had to spend 60 frs to get it.
a weed (don't know what it is but it's growing where I didn't plant anything so must be a weed. It has a sticky white sap.)
shot in the bathroom (you will have to take my word for that)
I have no idea what this is but it is in my front yard. Think I'll leave it to the lap of the cyclone gods as to whether it stays. Too much other clearing to do!
Weeds by the road near Apache, Arizona, just south of Safford on Highway 191. This photo looks best large and was taken just 4 days ago. The unknown plant (to me at least) has these taller stalks that are bare now, so the crop of the image seemed to make a forest of the weeds.
Minister for TAMS, Shane Rattenbury, Parks & Conservation staff, Parkcare and Australian Native Plant Society volunteers at the Autumn Weed Swap. Weed Swap is an important way for householders to get involved in removing woody weeds from their gardens, and replacing them with locally grown native plants. The native plants are grown by members of the Australian Native Plant Society. Woody weeds in suburban gardens are spread by birds carrying seed and berries to nearby Canberra Nature Park Nature Reserves. The initiative is an important way to halt new infestations of woody weeds.
our favorite way to mulch the vegetable gardens... 1. remove weeds 2. lay wet newspaper on ground and around plants 3. cover with mulching material (we usually use the straw that we used in the dog beds over the winter). Works like a charm!
One little weed growing on our pathway!! He's going to be zapped very soon!!

In the dictionary for butterflies, weed is among of the fore words.
Around 5.30pm in the evening, small Acraeas are always seen dancing over the weedy field, looking for a suitable plant-head to roost. There can be as many as five on a spot. In this photo, the weed is Tridax procumbens.
[en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tridax_procumbens]
Also, small lycaenids like the Tiny Grass Blue and Common Scarlet have been seen roosting singly on plants in bigger bushes.
It is notable that most weeds are beneficial to butterflies for feeding as well. Their flowers provide nearly an endless supply of nectar if the weeds are not cleared unduly.
Furthermore, many plants with little or no economic significance are essential for insect reproduction. Specific weeds play host to certain butterfly caterpillars after eggs laid on them have reached maturity. Hence absence of these hosts may result to shortage of particular butterfly species in a given location.
