| Apparently came from the pot nearby where I had these until they gave up. Facing south, growing in a crack in the side of the wall. Go figure!

| Aw, how cool. I hope you give it a little water and some liquid fertilizer to reward it for trying so hard. Reminds me of a moss rose that came up in a crack over the center line in the main 2 lane road at the end of my neighborhood. I watched that stupid thing grow and bloom for a couple of months, just amazed me that it could survive the heat of growing surround by black asphalt AND no car ever apparently drove over it and crushed it into pulp. So, there it was, a stupid little yellowy-orange moss rose growing in a crack in the pavement, and just a bit darker in color than the yellow center line painted on the asphalt. Life is tenacious and wants to survive, to paraphrase Carl Sagan. |

| All I have done is notice it. I tried being nice to the ones in the pot and they died. Leaving this alone, hope it didn't notice me noticing it! Your moss rose story reminds me of the little Sedum (or maybe a Portulaca!) that grows in the crack of pavement commonly here, parking lots, edge of the road. TINY leaves with TINY bright pink flowers. One of the smallest plants I've ever seen. |
