"Verbena"

 


            A lone seed surrounded by stones. With stubborn strength and survival’s goal, this isolated weed flowers on the side of the road. A single splash of purple and green stands against white and cream rocks. Boldly sprouting while separated from other blossoms.

            A few steps down the road, a pair commutes under a cedar tree. Resilient among the rocks, their simple blooms draws attention. Up along the dry creek bed, rests a cluster of verdant emerald with pinker tones flowers within last winter’s grasses.
