256. Common Groundsel, a wildflower from Sikkim

Walking on a trail amidst lush forests of Sikkim! The tiny wildflowers scattered like stars in the clear night's sky. There were many of them bright yellow, dark purple, red, white and orange. Visiting Sikkim in November was like missing out rhododendrons. Though these wildflowers weren't anywhere comparable they made my trail beautiful!

Common groundsel is a weed that grows all over the globe. It is a tiny flower with striking yellow color that stand out in the green!!

  2. Yes I have seen this before- a gardener who was asked to get rid of the weeds once got rid of some of my nice flowers and left these ;) ...they make things look wonderful.
