Roadside Flower

I noticed this walking along the pavement and at first glance I thought it was a weed.  It does have many redeeming qualities, so I picked one and brought it back to do a study.

You can help me understand what happened with last night's post on my journal.  I have only had a very small number of views.  I did have problems loading it and it may have fallen into the cracks in the systems, but if it didn't show up in your following browse screen just say, as we sometimes have these little quirks reported by other members and having it happen at first hand means I know what went wrong.
