About This Quote
This quote is an old proverb that has been used for centuries to describe anything that is not well-liked or appreciated by others. It is used to point out the truth in the fact that sometimes the things we try to make people like are in fact unloved. Weeds can be called many things, but in this case they are flowers that are unwanted by others. Weeds are not the most beautiful of flowers, but they come in all shapes and colors, and they are often much stronger than the flowers around them.
