Weeds! by danette

Weeds!

I glanced out the window and noticed these tiny purple flowers. I figured they must be weeds since I didn't plant them. Sure enough, they belong to the "hitchiker" plant and I was covered with them! Not a perfect shot. I hauled out my old macro filters, which don't fit this lens. A breeze would kick up just as I was trying to focus. I thought the purple was pretty!
Caught the middle one well...good dof! Love the light green background and the flower is a lovely colour.

Aww! Not weeds. Wildflowers! The best kind! Beautiful shot with lovely color and shape, Danette!

Great shot. These remind my of my "happy wanderer" shot. Take a look and see. I think the names Happy Wanderer and Hitchhiker go together so they are probably related. Love the colour too.

@lynnb @marlboromaam @clmiller @bdb3471 You all are so kind!! Definitely a weed! It's a vine that has those nasty little "hitchhikers" that adhere to your clothes, so that you scatter their seed. Very smart these plants are! I had never noticed the pretty flower it produces, but it is very tiny. That's why I captured it, because it does have some beauty.

@dreams Karen, wow, does it ever look like the same flower! Probably not, though, because you said someone gave it to you. Just glanced through your project and you have some very nice photos!

Beautiful little flowers. They look like orchids.

@bardejov Thanks! I thought it looked like an orchid, too, though they are about as small as this font.
