Welcome to A Weed's Worth!
UPDATE
IN PROGRESS - Domain transfer. A few files and scripts
may not be working until this is complete.
After a long dry spell with no changes,
the site is blooming again. Changes are happening throughout
the site and new plants will be sprouting regularly.
I have added a new feature on the plant detail pages
- "tags". These are keywords for the plant
that will give you more specifics when you utilize our
site search. For example, you could search for these
tags: fall flowers, butterflies, perennial, yellow flowers,
etc. I am in the process of adding these to the existing
plant pages too.
"Instead of seeking new landscapes, develop
new eyes." -Marcel Proust
If you ever get bored with the Nature around you, think of this quote. All you have to do is sit on the ground in a park and really look. You can see all kinds of tiny flowers and plants that you probably don't normally notice. For example, the Balloon Vine (pictured at left) has flowers that are only ~3 mm wide!
Our main purpose with this website is to give you a new appreciation of Nature around you. We don't discriminate because of size or showiness of flower. Every plant is important, useful, or at the least, beautiful in its own way.
We hope that our website leads you to discover the
hidden value and beauty of Nature at your feet.
