Natural Flowerpot


Being in the nursery biz-(plants not children) we sometimes have puny plants that simply refuse to grow. There is an area behind the main greenhouses that we dump said plants and debris in. Our intent is to slowly build it up, as it's a hollow.

Near the drive where we dump is a large oak tree. Hurricane Katrina tried to do it in, but even though she took a large limb from it, the tree remained firmly planted.

A few days ago I noticed a yellow spot up near where the branches start. Upon closer observation I found a clump of marigolds growing in the crook where a limb had once been. I grabbed my camera and got a shot.....for they look as though growing in this oak tree curve is precisely where they wanted to be.
