Did I plant this, if not, what a gift

Of wind, or a stowaway passenger,

Inadvertent baggage on feathered

Archives of worldwide dust storms.

 

Who? Those grazers on shy buffet,

Seeded for angels in transit

 

Leave a small trace of benign humour

Amongst seasonal wilt of infrastructure.

 

What brazen colours might blaze yet

Amongst pastel drifts and withered shrub.

You never know what they'll bring, but it's almost always a good surprise! Thanks for this Lena

So far, Holly seedilings, woodland violets and a myriad of foxgloves, I haven't explored the other beds yet, I'm hoping for something exotic :)

Thanks and best

Magical. Those plants growing, 'in the wrong place', have no idea of their crime.

Yes, and when manually transplanted don't fare as well as in the patch they fell by chance :)

Thanks Jane

The diference between a weed and a flower can be just a judgement - good poem.

I'll always remember the late comedian Dave Allen being interviewed once in his home.  The interviewer noticed the overgrown state of his garden and commented that his lawn needed mowing.

"But I don't want a lawn," retorted Allen.  "I want a meadow."

Quite!
