Beauty is in the eye of the beholder

@Earnest: Thanks, I loved it too. What amazing color that little flower had! I felt very fortunate it was in my path and "begging" me to take a picture, while my friend was tapping her foot and urging me to get on with it. :) Thank you for appreciating its beauty!

The petals that flop across are a reminder that imperfections make beauty.

Beautiful blue. Interesting petals with the jagged edges.

@Charles: Thank you Charles! Unfortunately, I have not had a chance to check out the websites. I have a big "testing week" next week and have been studying like crazy for that. I hope to have more time after the Nov 15. :)

Beautiful and colorful but a weed nonetheless. It makes you wonder what defines a weed and how is it exclusive of flowers.

@dogilicious: You are completely right! I never thought about that question, of what constitute a flower versus a weed? I think I will stick to "it should be personal preference." :-) Thanks for visiting!
