*~*~*~* Beauty of nature *~*~*~*

A week ago I discovered this flower growing on my driveway. Since, I look after that beauty every day, water it twice a day and carefully back out of the garage to keep distance that the wheels of the car don't "hurt" my flower!
I don't allow any weed killers on my property....... When the flowers start withering, I'll put the plant in good soil in a pot and wait and see what happens.......

That little flower makes me smile every morning. Before having breakfast I greet it and give it plenty of water!

It looks like a petunia and they put on blooms all summer here.
What a unique and unexpected place for it to grow.... it truly is blooming where it's planted.

WHAT A WEIRD PLACE FOR A FLOWER TO GROW. I DO NOT SEE ANY SOIL. GOOD LUCK. I MUST SAY THE PUNY LITTLE GERANIUM I BOUGHT CHEAP AT OUR FLOWER SHOW IS NOW QUITE A BEAUTY IN THE FLOWER BOX. MIRACLES HAPPEN.

Now that's one tough little flower you have there Myseek. I've never seen one grow in a driveway before, weeds yes, flowers no.

That flower knows that it's special because of all the love that you shower upon it,

Beautiful flower MySeek. It must be a hardy plant and like Pat says it looks like a petunia. It is also a favorite color of mine.

It looks like petunia....... I remember that petunia has a very nice scent which I don't smell with this one!

Under the gravel is a layer of cement, but the plant developed a third flower overnight. Today I added some "plant food" to the water. I call the flower Hope.....

Well would you look at that! If it keeps adding new flowers, you're going to have to put a fence around it so no one runs over it.

Your idea of fencing the plant in reminds me of The Little Prince (by Antoine de Saint- Exupery) who had one rose on his planet that he loved dearly. When he decided to explore planet Earth, he put her under a glass globe so that the sheep would not eat her during his absence. I had thought of that kind of protection for the night that no hungry animal would gobble up my lovely flowers. LOL

I agree, ET, this flower escaped from somewhere to be recognized in its beauty and strength. It settled in the right place......

Decades ago, when I lived in Persia (Iran) we had on both sides of the path to the house long flowerbeds with petunias, The flowers were bigger and emitted a captivating aromatic-floral scent.

This plant was a real surprise when I noticed it first. It's a real eye-catcher.
