Volunteer Lobelia
I found this tiny lobelia plant growing in a crack on my patio. No one planted it there, it apparently just decided for itself to make my patio its home and I'm delighted. Lobelia is welcome to grow anywhere it wants.
It's strange how if you like a plant, it's a volunteer. If you don't like a plant, it's a weed.

See, if it comes out the ground easily, it is a plant. If you have to get out a backhoe, it's a weed :)
Lovely. Lobelia just growing out of sidewalk cracks.
Glad you're leaving it!
I could really use a backhoe. I do have a problem with cattails. Sometimes,I think that the only way to get rid of them is to move.
If lobelia took over and grew inside and outside the house, I would be happy.
I have a problem with cattails, too. Every time I step on one, there's a terrible yowl. :)
Actually, I love cattails. We have many marshes here, lush with cattails. The redwing blackbirds like to perch on them and survey their territory.
Lol. The problem with the plant, cattails, is that I go barefoot and the shoots coming out of the ground are sharp. The yowling sound comes from me.
They are pretty and I like them, but not in my yard.
