Here's a photo from part of my naturalistic garden. The firethorn bush (on the right) just sprung up from the concrete patio. Over the rainbow (!) are wild roses that have gravitated from next door's neglected garden and the lawn meadow is in the background.
A 'weed' is just a plant in the wrong place - subjective!
Lovely pics B3, that sedum is amazing, not normally much of a fan of them, but that one is lovely. And the whole garden looks lovely, even with the hosepipe etc ;-)
Wildflower areas are out in force now. The sweet rocket is spectacular, especially on an evening, and smells amazing. I planted loads of white allium throughout the garden a couple of years ago, an attempt to get that 'rhythm' they always talk about on GW, I have purple sensation in the more cottagey side where all the perennials are, and white Mont blanc and mount everest in the wild side. I have to say it works really well to tie the whole lot together. Will add some more this autumn, and try to find something to do a similar job as the year progresses to take over from the allium.
@Jellyfire what a beautiful garden! I don't grow many either. i think i bought it to grow in a broken chunk of terracotta pot, but it ended up in a rose container.
Jellyfire, you have the most natural, free-flowing garden, it looks just wonderful. I especially like the water and bridge running through the wild flowers. I have more than a little streak of envy. Is the water an off shoot from a river or pond?
I always forget to look at this thread, then there are loads of posts so I don't have time. I've just zipped through about 350 posts. Beautiful gardens, beautiful plants. I tend not to take the wider shots much because for me it's all about the individual plants really, but I'll try to remember next time I go outside.
Must get one of those white Camassias. I saw one in a garden recently but didn't know what it was. So elegant.

I assume this is a sedum.
I thought I'd try all the white ones together. Might change my mind. That's the great thing about containers.

Edited to add - that sedum is extraordinary, @B3.
