Bloom Where You Are Planted

An excellent philosophy in flowers and in life. This little violet found some space in a crack in the concrete and like the Rose in Spanish Harlem grew right up through it.
Love you dad♥

Only the strong survive .... You Go Violet !!!!

[Ann H. LeFevre]

It's always fun to see how well plants bloom even in the strangest of spaces! Good shot!

[Marilyn Wigen]

Love the composition! You'd think if violets could grow there, they could grow in my garden! Maybe I should find some who have proven they can survive against all odds so they can survive my gardening skills!

How fun to have found this nice catch

[Dyan Stevens]

Those little guys do like to grow just about anywhere. Sometimes they choose a better place than planned...sometimes. Great shot.

fabulous contrasts of colours, textures and lighting. very well composed with the plants framed by that triangular shadow. a most excellent image.

[Disha Parekh]

Beautiful colour! Love how life comes from even the most adverse places.

[Maggiemae]

Just like my photo recently - grew out of the concrete! Nice to let it live!

[Tunia McClure]

Wonderful photo and wonderful philosophy.

[Paula]

Beautiful!

[Janet B.]

What a delight to find this pretty plant growing this way! I love the quote...perfect accompaniment to this wonderful image and great advice!

[Darlene]

Nice shot, Katy. I agree, only the strong survive. Are we ever challenged in life, just have to rise to the challenges.

@mzzhope Thanks Hope. I think that is what it is reallyall about isn't it? Thanks for the FAV
@lesip LOL! True dat!
@olivetreeann Thank you Ann. I agree with you.
@marilyn you are so kind. I'll be glad to let you have some of these! I doubt even you could kill them. ;~}
@deb60 I thought so too Deb. Thanks so much.
@dyanstevens I am finding them in all kinds of places and for the most part have decided to leave them be. Thanks
@summerfield Such generous praise for a shot that was really not thought out at all. The framing was all happenstance. Appreciate the FAV
@dishaparekh176 Thanks Disha. A lesson for us all isn't it?
@maggiemae I was surpised how similar they were and had already taken this before I saw yours. Great minds...eh MM?

@eudora Nice to have your positive feed back Diane. Thanks

I've always loved that quote. You never know the beauty one can add to the spot that they are planted at. Gorgeous capture!
