I learn more about God
From weeds than from roses;
Resilience springing
Through the smallest chink of hope
In the absolute of concrete…

If anyone knows what kind of "weed" this might be, let me know!

I was just amazed that it grew out of what's probably the tiniest crack I've seen, barely 1mm wide.

Pepperweed or peppergrass, Lepidium genus but there are a number of species; this one is probably L. campestre. A very common weed in the mustard (Cruciferae) family.

Wow, that's certainly one I never expected!

I was thinking some kind of millet or other critter that stray birdseed might beget.

Thanks!

Thanks!

I know it's just a weed and all, but I still marvel at how they can grow in almost *nothing*, a crack where water can barely seep through, let alone have enough room for roots to grab hold in.
