Waking up to see these abnormal and yet beautiful images of various plant growth in very odd locations - captured in Russia and posted on the Sola community was all I needed to put this piece together.
Many times, we lose in life not because we literally failed but because we did all but persist. One thing we should know is that the Human mind was designed to decode the various mysteries of the world. We have the most inquisitive psychological abilities and that's why we are solution seekers all around the globe (aka Scientists).
With that being said, we then wonder why the amount of persons crying failure are more than those screaming success? The answer was then found in persistence.

Everybody has a story, but only the successful tell their story.

Lessons Learnt

We need to understand that the obvious idea depicted here is "abnormality". According to @emmanueladam91 only those who think differently get to be treated differently.
Looking at these courageous flowers, it is quite glaring that they were not expected to sprout from such unfavorable environment but yes they did and here they are serving as examples to us.

Having a knowledge of your worth or value or better put, when you know the purpose for your existence, there is nothing that would ever prevent you from being distinct!

It's a very consistent principle.
Most times we give up not because have actually tried it out, but because of what's we have heard from those who failed at it.
Interestingly, we have forgotten that we have unique personalities and that "my success is independent of your story".
From the images shown, it might a have been possible that during the construction of that environment, some mighty tress were uprooted, it might also be very possible that the ground breaking roots of these trees are still buried deep inside the ground and that is all that would be heard or said of them - (strong, mighty, ground breaking but buried roots).

But the flower sought to think differently. Imagine that the flowers considered the story of the uprooted trees and that of the "ground-breaking root stumps, and were intimidated by this, would they have been worth this million-dollar images? A reverberating No.
Hence,

All is possible to those whose eyes are steadfastly fixed on success.

About the Challenges

Obviously, the coal tar and the concrete floor were the storms/challenges/hurdles/ mountains (you name it) that these flowers needed to face. Infact, the perfect excuse would have been "we arejust flowers", "it's not the right place to grow", or "who will take good care of us if we eventually sprout?"
These are rational excuses that we make for the flowers, but the interesting thing is that

Excuses are tools of the incompetent, monuments of nothingness and those who use them are not wise.

Thus in order to breakthrough those hard grounds abovele us, in order to flourish in very odd places and with little or not support from those around us; in order to be celebrated like these exceptional flowers and to leave everyone around in Jaw-dropping spectator, we have to debunk our minds of excuses, believe in extreme possibilities and soar highest in all opportunities.
**Remember, your Glory comes from telling your Story. But the question remains: "what story will you tell? That of Impossibilities or Possibilities?
