The Defense of the Weeds

We dismiss weeds because they are ugly. But does anyone really know what they've been through. Can you weather the storms and the abuse that these weeds have faced? I didn't think so. After all, I don't think many of us have taken the time to actually look at weeds and the way they have bbe crafted. What's that expression again? Something about time? Oh, yeah. Take time to stop and smell the roses. The ROSES. What happened to the weeds? Why is there no saying that goes take time to appreciate the weeds? The weeds are, much as we loathe to admit it, the backbone of the flower community. Without these weeds that are dismissed because of their nonexistant beauty, we would not have a frame of reference for which flowers were truly beautiful. Case and point.
