Butterflyweed growing rampant along a suburban pond. (5 years and 2600 days ago)
Moderator says:
Many plants can be both desired and a weed, depending on where they are, with your explanation I accept it as a weed.
Weeds 2 - Photography Contest [62 entries]
Contest goal:
Even weeds give amazing eye catching shots as they compete with desired plants, even for pollination, hence, they try to be more attractive than their competitor cultivated plants.
This goal of this contest is to take a photograph of a weed/weeds. The definition of a weed for the purpose of this contest is as follows (from merriam-webster.com):
"a plant that is not valued where it is growing and is usually of vigorous growth; especially : one that tends to overgrow or choke out more desirable plants"
It is not necessary to show the weed with other plants; however, you must clearly show that your subject is a weed and not just a regular plant. It is not necessary to name the weed, but such attention to detail is highly encouraged.
Finally, although they can sometimes fit our definition of "weed", vines will be considered off theme due to our having a vines contest rather recently. Individual plants are allowed, but please write in the description which weed it is.
Status: finished. Check out the winners below!

Contest Moderator: Some seem to think that if a plant has not been planted it's a weed. That is incorrect, there are many plants groing in the wild that are not weeds. ( 5 years and 2597 days ago )

Blue Flax - created by Ben754
This one may be a stretch. Blue Flax is an often-planted garden plant, but its invasive, self-seeding habit makes it very hard to control. The one was definitely out of place, having colonized a vegetable bed. Soon after, we tried to eradicate it from the yard; despite its pretty flowers, it just became too invasive.
