Weeds Must Have Brains

They know, they just know where to grow, how to dupe you, and how to camouflage themselves among the perfectly respectable plants, they just know, and therefore, I've concluded weeds must have brains. ~ Dianne Benson, Dirt, 1994

Great quote! These are too pretty to be weeds.

I've been watching for these Chinese Lanterns - they've either been mowed down by the city (probable) or haven't come up yet where they usually do

I love the hint of pink in the background

@bella_ss You are right. Milanie has identified these as Chinese Lanterns.

@milaniet Thanks for identifying this plant. I've read that it is invasive so I may have to try move it from the middle of my rock garden.

Cool! I've never heard of a Chinese Lantern but glad you got a shot before you possibly move it!

p.s thank you for kind words and fav on my butterfly!!!

Love the detail and focus, strange plant but I would let it grow just to see the flower! Fav!
