Gorgeous Groundsel
"What do you mean I'm a weed?"
I'm ashamed to admit that I nearly pulled up this tiny delight. As I write, it's currently growing in the crack between the concrete of our studio car park and the brick wall of the studio loo. I know, hardly the most glamorous location.
I have to say this at a whisper, in case it hears, but groundsel is rather a scrappy native plant when viewed from standing height. It's straggly, with small, unremarkable flowers. But get down on your hands and knees with a magnifying lens in the early morning and it's a delicate and delightful explosion of white and yellow florets. 
I'm sorry groundsel, I misjudged you. You're a a gorgeous little marvel, and I appreciate your tiny wonder.
