Weeds in the Grass by Leanne Lindsay

I was exploring the unique Boothtown Aqueduct in Sydney's west with my grandchildren when this beautiful flower caught my eye. The sunlight hit it perfectly, and I just had to capture it! I wasn't sure if it was a weed or a flower and to be honest, it didn't really matter. It was pretty and unusual. I later found out that it is purple-top vervain, Brazilian vervain, or common verbena flowers. These flowers are native to South America, so grow quite well in Australia, and are known for their vibrant colors that attract butterflies and bees.
