Isn't it amazing how plants grow in all sorts of weird and wonderful places? On a recent outing to Liverpool we observed these specimens on a city centre roof top. Do click on the photo to see how much is growing up there.
Why not go over to ABC Wednesday now for more opportune observations on the letter O.
It is amazing where you can find things growing! Happy O Day! Have a great week!

Amazing! Some weeding seems required.
ReplyDeleteWho would have thought . . . against the odds yes! :) great catch!
ReplyDeleteAmazing isn't it? There used to be a samll tree growing out of the roof of Colchester castle that had self seeded itself, I guess it's long gone now, but the children were always fascinated by it.

Somebody is an avid gardener!
ReplyDeleteHi Anna, That was quite an extraordinary "capture" - personally, I would not like to be assigned the job of weeding that roof!
ReplyDeleteThe resilience of plants can be quite amazing. Great photo Anna.

This proves that plants just want to grow, we don't always have to tend them and mollycoddle them.
ReplyDeleteDear Anna, this reminds of men who get hair sprouting from their nostrils and ears as they get older! Guess it happens to old buildings, too. lol
ReplyDeleteSo true! And, a testimony about 'if there is a will, there is a way'.
ReplyDeleteWhat is that building? It looks so O-riental.
ReplyDeleteI often hit O on the keyboard instead of zero, and zero has been the night temperature these last couple of days....
ReplyDeletegreat O for outlook .
ReplyDeleteI always like to see the plants growing in walls up old castles, and there are many up the ancient walls round Durham Cathedral.
ReplyDeleteWow! It is so encouraging to read posts like yours - truly inspirational and so creative - a real ABC follower!
ReplyDeleteThanks so much for contributing such a well thought out post. I really appreciate the hard work and thinking behind it....Liverpool! A great place for a bike ride - not in this weather however! Brrrrrrrrr!
