Here in my neck of the woods spring has sprung and I'm loving it. Just moments ago I was blessed with the site of some really nice flowery creatures poking up through cracks and holes on my property.
I snapped some pics and got enthused about having another round of my "Reaping What You Did Not Sow" contest!
As I Expressed in The Original Contest:
The famous expression is "You will reap what you sow". In other words you suffer or benefit as a result of your own actions. For example:
- If you study diligently you'll pass the exam and if you don't you'll fail.
- If you obey the speed limit you won't get a ticket and if you don't you will
Sometimes though, nature takes over and the opposite happens.
Here Are The Two Examples That I Saw Today!
This little beauty was poking up through a crack in the stairs leading up to my front door!
I have been gifted with this bouquet growing in a crack on my patio! I didn't plant it but Wow Wow Wow!
Now It's Your Turn. Let's See your Examples!
Contest Rules:
- Please show me an example of a flower growing where it was not sown.
- Add the photo to the comment section below. Feel free to make a separate post if you like as well.
- One entry per person
- There will will 5 prizes of 1 Steem each for the best entries.
- The contest closes when this post pays out.
I'm looking forward to seeing your entries!
Thanks for following me on my travels and I look forward to sharing my adventures with you.
This Contest is RedFish And Minnow Friendly!
Until next time,
@kus-knee (The Old Dog)
This beauty seeps through many of the cracks in our garden wall....never was planted or planned, but nonetheless every spring we are gifted with this purple delight!

Nice! I have been missing this contest :) Here is my entry:
It is mushroom of the genus Ramaria, a group of mushrooms known as the "coral fungi". I took this close-up in a Czech forest last summer. The mushroom was growing on a dead tree.

I just saw your Shameless Post Promotion post, and I do not know why I have not heard of this contest before. I'm so glad I saw this today.
I am a natural weight loss coach and take photos like this on purpose to motivate people.
This is one of my favorites found on a fence in a bad neighborhood in San Diego California.
And here it is on the poster I send when people tell me they cannot do things now, where they are, with what they have.
I have more, so I hope I will see this contest again. Since your "rules" qualify, you might want to enter it to @contestkings. You need to go to their discord and get whitelisted and then when you post your contest, add it in the room they have. Then you will be on their daily post which many people use to find contests.
They sometimes give good upvotes too, although I see you are already a star in that area :)
Thank you so much for the contest!

I don't know if we ever planted primroses in our garden, but they spring up everywhere. I don't mind too much as they look nice. Yes, that is a coconut shell there. It appeared from nowhere a while back. Maybe it was an overladen African swallow.

For a long time I was looking for blooming Sally (Ivan tea in Ukrainian), growing in the wild, but all without success. Who would have thought that I could find it on the roof of an abandoned house right in the center of our town!

I noticed this beautiful moonlight cactus flower last night, it sprung up amongst other plants along my rainforest path. So happy I caught it as it only blooms for one night.
I created a post for this contest and also for my #tenkminnows task.i am adding a couple more images here as Partiko only allows one image for the post.

I decided to go with a flower I'm sure a lot of you have growing near you right now. I'm also sure most of you did not plant it!
The dandelion!
This picture is my entry into the contest and I also wrote a post talking about dandelions to go with it: https://steemit.com/permaculture/@wildhomesteading/the-dandelion-much-hated-in-suburbia-but-useful-and-beautiful
They really are beautiful flowers and since they are one of the first flowers in late winter and one of the last in late fall I do appreciate the splash of color they bring to an otherwise dreary landscape.
