There's no such thing as a weed. 'Weeds' are just plants that are growing in places where you don't want them to grow.

Yours is a nice picture of a nice little Daisy valiantly standing proud in all her glory.

It's true!

Meadow flowers are being killed off on verges, in fields, in gardens etc. We converted our back garden into a meadow flower area and the insects, birds and wildlife love it. There's colour all year and it's actually low maintenance. The flowers and plants find their own level and just keep coming year in and year out.

We got our seeds from HERE and the germination rate was excellent, I'd say approximately 95% or more.

The definition of the details on Peter's daisy are also excellent. Small daisies can be very difficult to photograph well, difficult to maintain all the white tones without burn out. Peter's is superb. I also love the setting, the exposure and the bokeh.

That wouldn't be out of place hanging in an art gallery.
Beautifully simplistic and yet with lots of impact

I agree with Pops, this is one of those sort of pictures that arty people would pay silly money for in an art gallery / auction. All jokes aside I love the simplicity of this
