If I could manage it, I would have a field of “weeds.”
According to the Merriam Webster dictionary, “a weed is a plant that is not
valued where it is growing. “ Through more than a half-century of living, a
good deal of my time has been devoted to contemplating the perplexing station
of Queen Anne’s Lace, which is considered a weed. How do you measure value of a plant? This blossom cannot be
eaten, it doesn’t have a pleasing scent, and it heartily grows wild, yet in my
opinion its’ beauty outweighs all the things that it is not. It is
symmetrical. Each head is comprised
of a multitude of small clusters of individual blossoms seemingly
suspended and further a satellite of tiny blooms. From an engineering standpoint, this
plant must be the subject of study for delicate, yet functional construction. Forget the ‘field of dreams’. I just want a field of these lacy blooms.
