Depends if your wild flower's growing in a garden, innit?
If not, it's Nature and some far-sighted person provided a group for
it, though apparently not one for plants generally.

Actually the name of this group is "gardens", though it's actually rare
these days to see a photo of an actual garden, just flowers. As weeds are
part of any garden, I would say they are every bit as much on topic as are
flowers.
Pat posts photos of birds, they're not flowers, but birds do come into
gardens, so, whilst I personally wouldn't post a photo of a bird (unless it
was on a flower) in this group, by drawing a long bow, they are on topic.

I don't think a garden is a garden without birds and even an
occasional human present. : o ) And there are certain to be a few
weeds at least that those wonderful little things bring around.

I'm w/ you ... saw a towhee for the 1st time in I don't know how long
the other day, 6 tufted titmice at the same time & a chickadee ...

Yes, I feed the birds

Also get squirrels, chippies, an occasional skunk in the evening,
an occasional feral cat & when I'm real lucky, deer

I know you enjoy those little things. I do too. A feed the kitty first
her fancy feasts and some dry kibbles and then the dog her first
course of chicken and rice. The birds get a bit of white rice and
birdseed, in separate places. Today there must have been 50 of the
little dears. I would hate to think there would not be birds around my
place.
