What is a weed? A plant whose virtues have yet to be discove

Summary

This quote suggests that the label of "weed" does not define a plant's true worth or potential. It implies that by dismissing certain plants as undesirable or insignificant, we may overlook their hidden benefits or unintended uses. It encourages us to be open-minded and curious, acknowledging that any plant, even those commonly labeled as weeds, may have untapped virtues or useful properties yet to be discovered and appreciated.
