There’s a new plant, a Hardy Hibiscus, in my front garden and it blossomed. A single bloom. Very exciting to see the vibrant pink unfold.
Then I walked up to the park and saw what’s in the second photo!
Maybe next year.

Plant ID?
I think this is a weed but perhaps someone can identify it. I know it grows pretty tall as there were tall dried cane-like reeds from last year.

Through a Neighbor’s Fence
Walking to book club (to discuss The Madonnas of Leningrad), I came across this single blossom which had poked through the slats of my neighbor’s fence. The setting sun illuminated the new green leaves. Unretouched Photo.
Life Force
You could write a lot of captions to sum up the effort of this plant.
Perseverance
You see motivational posters with a single word illustrating a character trait underneath a corresponding photo. The power of nature to grow in an inhospitable environment is always amazing to me.
