Crown Vetch are pretty incredible flowers in my opinion. Not flashy or showy. But they take advantage of whatever is left to them.

Edges of roadside. Unmown sections of yard. Unmaintained river banks.

I think these flowers are beautiful, but most people probably consider them a weed because they just crop up wherever a space is left unattended.

I love that about them. They grow to fit the environment. I try to encourage them to grow in parts of my yard that I can’t hope to maintain on my own. I don’t have the energy or desire to maintain the more challenging sections of my yard.

Let nature take its course. Nature will beautify it for me.

The crown vetch might not get a place of prominence but they make the most of what there is for them.

Be like a Crown Vetch. take advantage of the circumstances you find yourself in and make the most of it.

Be strong, hardy, and beautiful. And take advantage of what others don’t want to deal with.
