Wild Flower or Weed?

The good weather this last week has enabled me to catch up on gardening jobs but at the same time have the opportunity to sit out and enjoy my creation. Sitting out there one day and seeing some wild flowers in bloom, some may call them weeds but there are certain things I leave to grow because I like them, I began to dream about the wonderful early summer meadows I had seen and marvelled at the skill of Mother Nature and her planting plan. Also my thoughts went back to the walks along river banks where the colours may be more muted, soft greens etc., and cliff top walks. But then I remembered wilder places where everything seemed overgrown with certain species overpowering others and that started me thinking about how maybe we have helped out that lady.

If we had not cleared woodland to produce pasture she would not have had the opportunity to scatter the seed for those early summer displays. Our grazing of cattle and sheep has kept down the invasive species and given a chance to the wonderful flowering annuals that would have struggled to grow, set and scatter their seed.
