A Spring Treasure

(Edited)

I was walking along this neighbourhood with nice gardens the other day when I saw a flower peeking through a crack under the sloped retaining wall along the sidewalk. Usually, sturdy flowers like dandelions can be found in those tight spaces in the streets. In this case, it was fancier than that. From what I could find, it appears to be a Gazania rigens, or treasure flower, which according to its Wikipedia page, is native to southern Africa. So far from home!

That is a beauty ... an immigrant much welcomed in its new home!

Now that I think about it, it's probably a seed from one of the plants nearby, so it's a second generation immigrant at this point 😄

OH ... well, still welcome ... practically part of the national family!
