Let's give them the name of.............WILD FLOWERS. Much too pretty to be weeds. ;0) Oh do i ever marvel in my twilight years at the beauty in this world we have been given ....JUST for the LOOKING!
When I lived in Kentucky people were forever looking at me weird because I used to go around digging up wildflowers and planting them in my flowerbeds.
But those are WEEDS! they'd say.
For the life of me I could never understand why, when Ox-eyed daisies grew wild everywhere, they would go to a store and buy the much less hardy Shasta daisies.
Same thing with Jonquils and Daffodils. Most of the time I prefer the wild varieties, and they are so much easier too.
Cracks me up how people are always thinking they can "improve" nature. Silly humans.

Wildflowers are such a gift and so nice to discover. You'd almost want to plant them in your garden.
Wildflowers are such a gift to see when you're out walking.
I love your photos, I love wild flowers. I always wanted a lawn with nothing but wild flowers. Sending big hugs.....:-)
There is nothing quite like a selection of wild flowers.
I was looking at your last post about Canada being only 144 years old.
It seems incredible that it is such a young country!

Beautiful photos! Amazing to think those grow wild all over your woods. We are experiencing a severe drought in Texas so it's nice to see some beauty.

They are beautiful aren't they?
They are beautiful - and to my shame, I can't identify them! Off to get my wild flower identification book.
Wild flowers really raise your spirits.
Great photos, too!
