This Is The Way

When I am on my walks I often see plants growing on roofs and other places where there is no soil, and I wonder how the hell they manage to grow.

I am no scientist but I would think that a plant would need nutritious soil to grow in, but a wall?

Look at that dandelion, how does it live? Maybe it gets moisture when it rains and then, along with photosynthesis, it manages to grow, and flourish.

I have seen this dandelion over a couple of days and this story has given me a reason to write about it. We often see moss on stonework, but this is a fully fledged plant.

I have seen small trees growing in similar situations.

I don't know how it happens, but life always finds a way....
