I'm out with the dogs in the back yard every day so it is easy for me to notice something new in the flower bed - that should not be there ~mostly the neighbor's son's balls (he plays everyday), occasionally the bird feeder is knocked down. This flower bed is a bit over grown any way due to the builder's landscaper - I think he just wanted to be 'done' and put the all the plants that we agreed upon in a bit smaller flower bed; hence the overgrown bed... but when a tall slender weed came up through the bushes and irises it was noticeable but I was ... busy......and it was a sticky, prickly tall slender weed - that grasping with my unprotected hand was a distasteful thought. So the weed was let to grow, unsupervised and totally protected being inside the bushes and landscape.
While I was holding my new nephew for days and having a wonderful time being with my sister and her new family - the sticky; prickly weed grew and grew due to the Texas sun and the wonderful rain it received for days and days.
Upon my return home I take the dogs outside to play and do their business and remembered the weed. I walked around the corner of the house and there it was in it's glory - it had shot up almost 3 feet taller and had bloomed! It will be removed but for now I'm enjoying it's bright yellow beauty. Probably dropped there by an unsuspecting bird but a bright spot for me today.
There's a thought there but I'm going to leave it for ya'll to ponder....

I dunno, Tam - they say whatever you WANT in your flower bed is a plant, not a weed :) It blooms! It might be a keeper?
