This weed has made its presence out of the blue. I am seeing it here and there. Looks pretty. I have to get rid of it but do not have the heart.
Would you keep it?

I also think it's quite pretty :) I have seen some really pretty weeds over here, like for example those daises that seem to pop out everywhere :p It's hard to get rid of them, but I always did it if I knew I'd be using the space.

Of course I'd keep it! It looks beautiful:) Those round leaves remind me of clover that grows in my area.
Most weeds are lovely little plants:love:

It is very pretty! Some time we just have to get rid of them if they have taken over. I recently got rid of the morning glory that seemed to just choking the heck out of the rose bush we have in the yard. I know morning glory isn't a weed and the flower is quite beautiful, but when it comes down to it, I must save the rose bush!

Anything that grows in the wrong place also come under the category of weeds, unfortunately.

Morning glory's are very invasive and can take over a yard in a short time,but I still grow them.

I didn't even plan the morning glory but they self-seeded themselves from last year! I have been trying to take them out every year, but it always come back. I let it grows where there are no other plants in its way, but other than that, they are very invasive indeed.

Since it is spreading in the garden it would have to go before it takes over the whole garden.

Someone came into the garden center yesterday looking for oxalis. Most people here consider it a weed and want it gone from their yard. I have some of the purple in a flower pot and I saw a picture of another variety I would like to have because it is so pretty. It's called iron cross.
