weeds are only weeds if they're unwanted. These are great flowers for the local fauna.

In a Botany class years ago, a weed was defined as a "plant out of place".

A weed is anything that weed-killer kills; it's a marketing term.

People walking out of Lowes Depot with a cart full of RoundUp or the like to kill some weeds along with maybe, just maybe their kids, def worth it.
Yes yes, I know "we investigated ourselves and found nothing wrong, we just pay these lawsuits out of the pious goodness of our hearts"

Not necessarily. There are a lot of invasive weeds that'll kill other plants on your property

Yes. I'm going for the natural lawn lawn starting this year. I want more birds and bees.

👏👏👏 That's great. This plant looks like field pennycress IIRC. It can get out of hand very quickly. It's better than turf, but native plants are the best.

I want local fauna. If this is good I'm not going to mow/ cut it.

This plant is beneficial to the local fauna of Asia where it's native. Here in the US it's just another invasive plant.
