They must be tough to grow up out of pavement. They do offer a bit of beauty in to the barren corner. Lovely.

Looks like they are playing hide-and-seek, peeking around the corner....

Tough little plants that'll sow their seed wherever they can! I remember trying to pull all the seeds out of my socks :) Gorgeous all the same & I love them! Wonderful shot...
