My Mystery Flower



I am hoping someone can help me out here. The picture above was taken in my backyard but i have never noticed this flower before. So i am wondering if it's not a weed. If it is a weed it is one of the prettiest weeds i have ever seen. There were two more like it close by.

What caught my eye was the detail and the color. It is such an interesting flower. It seems to radiate and as you can see, i was not the only one who was drawn in. The bee lit on the flower while i was taking the pictures.

I am thinking i might sketch this and paint it in watercolor.

Until i know more about it i will call it my "mystery flower". If anyone can help me i would greatly appreciate it.

What can we Learn From a Weed?



I know they are weeds but still they are pretty to me.

Others may mow or spray,

Whatever to make them go away.

But i like to look closer

And see what they miss,

Delicate little beauties

That remind me

Sometimes we are too quick to judge

Or look the other way

When beauty surrounds us everyday.
