Look at the little pod-like buds of the individual flowers. And then when they open they create these perfect little five pointed yellow stars ready to entice a butterfly. SO, I get the butterfly part of the name, but WEED?????
I love how when the bud opens it creates a little fairy skirt down below the yellow flower part. (Should I get a little more technical in my plant terminology?)
A Canadian living in Texas learning slowly, slowly about dirt and plants and trees and what grows and probably more frequently, what doesn't... and wishing that gardening would count for exercise.
And now, I have to leave my beloved garden and start jogging up and down to the Acropolis every day. At least I'll have the exercise thing covered.
Now back in Austin, and finding out what it's like to live with TWO cats....
