Though we travel the world over to find the beautiful, we must carry it with us or we find it not.

Day 28

It's funny how sometimes the most pretty flowers are considered to be weeds. For example, this Astragalus flower. Astragalus doesn't have many useful qualities (in fact some species are harmful to livestock); although another common weed featured here a few weeks ago, the humble dandelion, has a plethora of uses, both edible and medicinal.
“Weeds are flowers, too, once you get to know them.”
― A.A. Milne
