Weeds are flowers too, once you get to know them.

What is a weed? A plant whose virtues have never been discovered.

A weed is but an unloved flower.

A good garden may have some weeds.

Weeds do become resistant to herbicides, and it needs to be managed with multiple herbicides.

When I weed, I like to get off into my own head. For one thing, my wife plants and I have trouble telling which plants are weeds and which are my favorite plants. So I tend to hop around and grab the weeds that I know are weeds. So I don't weed all that linearly. I tend to weed haphazardly.

Your minds may now be likened to a garden, which will, if neglected, yield only weeds and thistles; but, if cultivated, will produce the most beautiful flowers, and the most delicious fruits.

A weed is no more than a flower in disguise, Which is seen through at once, if love give a man eyes.

So high do these plants stand in the favour of the Chinese gardener, that he will cultivate them extensively, even against the wishes of his employer; and, in many instances, rather leave his situation than give up the growth of his favourite flower.
