Flower or weed?

A reader sent this photo in and asked - Are these flowers or weeds?

I put the question to the gardening group Diggin' Shoreline.

They said that it is a fringecup, a Northwest native ground cover.

Here's a link to more information which notes, among other things, that it is slug resistant!

As to whether it is a flower or weed, "beauty is in the eye of the beholder."
