I like it, don’t know what it is see if it flowers. I think the rock likes it.

I like it a lot! Softens the harshness of the stone.

I thought it was planted on purpose. No idea what it is but it looks nice to me

It fits well into the oriental garden vibe, it’s very zen-like. Leave it until it matures into something weird or turns brown or gets all leggy. Looks like a little green mountain.

Pilea microphylla (military fern), they can grow like weeds, but I’ve always liked them, they look like little trees.

I thought it was a fern 😭 it’s very cute though

Look up how much it would cost to buy now that you have the ID and use that to convince her it’s worth something.

I don’t know what it is but it looks great there, definitely appears intentional.

Holy crap that looks fantastic. Keep the plant. It is a poem about the beauty of all things unmanaged and unplanned
pulse_of_the_machine
It’s beautiful, looks intentional, and if it’s not invasive the only thing categorizing it as a “weed” is biased opinion based on the fact that it grows well without human intervention. I vote keep it!
FYI: it’s “Artillary plant”, native to Florida and South America

A weed is a plant that grows where you don’t want it to grow. So, by this definition, according to you this is not a weed. I would say according to me too, because it looks great! I love that it comes out from the base of the stump (or rock?) and adds colour to the otherwise boring rocks. It also brings the area to life.
Edit: a word
EnkiduTheGreat
That’s a rock, and not a stump?
BunnyEllaDreams
It accessorizes the rock perfectly, if she removes the fern then it would be a rock surrounded by rocks lol!

I think it looks beautiful there, and very well placed! If only I could get ferns to grow that well…

I like this it could add interest to a garden. Keep it.
Frosty_Mud2684
I mean as long as they’re not spreading/infesting to other plants and smothering them or invasive why not just keep them
Raptze
I mean, trimming it would make the rock look a little bit bigger…

It looks great. If you like it you should definitely keep it. The rock likes it, you can tell.

I love it. Don’t see the problem except some people are very destructive. My dad loves killing harmless plants no matter how much value they have (bees). Smh

It’s so cute, it just needs more greenery around it to make it look more intentional. I like the concept of having “a spiller, a thriller, and a filler.” You’ve got the filler, now you need something with a little height like a dwarf variety of bamboo or parlor palm (thriller), and something that’s drapes or creeps like a string of pearls (spiller). I would put the other two plants in pots so they’re easy to manage and set them around the stone. The thriller on the left of the stone behind the filler, and the spiller on the right where the rocks meet the grass. That’s just my take on it. 💚🎍

Justice for the military fern!!

looks beautiful, tell her it’s expensive to buy one or something.

It’s a great plant, but it seems to be growing outside the border of the garden. If you move the edging it will look more like it belongs.
I agree with the others if it fits the garden and does not become invasive or obnoxious- it sure looks like it suits where it is – however, since it’s common name is artillery weed – I wonder if those little yellow seed capsules become ‘exploding’ tiny weed seed spreading where you do not want it.

The “weed” looks like it belongs there. Killing it would be sad.

I believe this is an artillery plant that discharges pollen explosively. Your “weed” may already be prepared for battle …

This is a beautiful plant and rock
Hipster_Poe_Buildboy
It’ll certainly make your rock look larger if you trim it down.

It’s a fluffy weed! I like it.
OrwellianDreams
Its so pretty. Please save it, let it grow.

It looks great there, adds another texture, and fits right in.

Keep it 100%
Activist_Mom06
I am in NE FL and this grown everywhere. It’s lovely between pavers and such. I also add to terrariums. I relocate it to make more sense when I can. It’s easy to remove if it becomes too much. Mine dies back when we get a cold snap below freezing.
It is very perfect where it is.
wowzeemissjane
It’s very Zen to leave it there.

Military Fern – I sometimes use these with my bonsai. They grow like crazy but very hardy.

It’s gotta stay 💯

So you have the gravel sea, the rock mountain, the fern forest and the grassy island. It looks very nice. If it is not invasive, it adds dimension and softness.

I have this all over my yard, it keeps the real weeds away & grows in any crevice without soil. 💚

Your only issue i can see is having it seed everywhere.
