I am such a sucker for survivors. Like this pretty cracked milk glass piece…with its tiny crack.

Like these tiny portulaca plants and petunias. They are annuals here in the midwest. But they determinedly sprouted up this year. The weird thing? The portulaca were from TWO summers ago!! In a hanging planter on the balcony rail that I wanted SuperGuy to tear down and get rid of. But I couldn’t stand to lose these spunky plants. So I dug them up and put them in a few pots in the backyard. Didn’t really think they’d make it.

But look! they are going to bloom! Wonder if they’ll come back again next year? I guess they didn’t read the gardening book on how they are annuals in our climate. Will get pretty macro shots of the blooms soon.
Drop by tomorrow, I’ll actually have some photos of ME at the wedding. Who knew??

Came here for the survivor post title. And well, I come here anyway but the title caught my eye! Spunky little plant you’ve got there. They’re going to make a great photo debut. Hey ~ they already have!
The underdog always has my vote!!!
