Feral flowers

I’ve decided I like using ‘feral’ rather than ‘volunteer.’

There’s a spot off the patio that has been getting pansies and violas every Fall. Last year’s collection didn’t do much. They didn’t die completely. But, they weren’t particularly enthusiastic. I need to get some good mulch in there and let them have good soil this year. I like having a little color out there in Winter.

What I did not expect to happen was this.

    In a similar vein, you might also appreciate this story written by an incarcerated journalist. Flowers in unexpected places: https://prisonjournalismproject.org/2022/09/13/how-we-cultivated-flowers-prison/

      That made me want to show up at a prison with pots and soil and seeds.
