Can you tell me what kind of flowers these are?

Yes I have them too. Not sure what they're called, but they are wild, as in you don't have to plant them or care for them. If you like them, who cares? Let them grow! I once picked wild flowers from a field to transplant into my lawn just because I liked the looks of them. I was later told they were weeds, but I didn't care, they were pretty and colorful.

I do the same thing! LOL Whenever I see something pretty, as long as it's not on somebody's property, I'll take some home with me. Weeds or not, if they're pretty I want some in my yard. Take care and happy digging!

I've seen such beautiful "weeds" since I've been back to Ohio! I'd forgotten how lovely the weeds are here! Thanks for helping me, both of you!

They're SO pretty!! I water them and take care of them just like my "real" flowers.

Oh, goody!! I love 'em, I want them to spread all over.

it probably will.under the right conditions,it gets pretty tall as well.i've had some over a foot in height.

I hope mine will spread. It's along the sides of my house and looks so pretty!

I never thought of weeds in that way but you're right! A lot of weeds are prettier than the flowers most people like.

A friend of mine is trying to creat a wild flower meadow, so I spend loads of time saving my 'weeds' and potting them up for her!

That's great to know. When the price of food gets too high, I'll live off my buttercups! Seriously, have you seen the price of a bag of salad?! I'm back to buying heads of lettuce!

Have you also noticed that bagged salads have a peculiar taste? I can't really describe it, it's just kind of yucky, more a smell than a taste. And it spoils really fast if you store it in the same bag you bought it in. I've had heads of lettuce stay nice and crisp for 7-10 days, whereas bagged salad goes bad in 2-3 days. I like the variety of bagged salad, though, all the mixtures are nice. When my mom comes back next month there'll be two people here and I can buy a variety of different lettuce without it going to waste!

LOL. Yes. I've never bought bagged salad and now I'm even less inclined to do so. I usually buy the curly leaf lettuce or romain because they keep longer than iceberg, and I hate throwing food away. I'm always a little sad when it gets so hot that the dandelion leaves are too bitter to eat. I don't usually have enough sour grass for a meal, but this year's different. That won't last long. It'll get really bitter later on too.

I never thought of eating them, although when my grandma served us salad there were a lot of oddly shaped greens in it! They were always delicious, though. I have a head of lettuce in the fridge, I think I'll pick some of the greens from this and add it to the lettuce! I didn't know you could eat the flowers, too, seems like such a waste of beauty.

There are so many "weeds" that have herbal quality and can also serve as good food...

Thank you! Isn't it funny that so many of what we call weeds are actually very useful and beautiful!

It does look similar, from the images I found. It's a beautiful flower!

I never had a green thumb till I was in my 40's! All of a sudden, flowers would grow for me, I never figured out why.

Oh, pink would be beautiful!! Found some more on the other side of the house, I'm going to take good care of them!
