Not a flower, but rather a leaf that fell from a branch of a tall tree I didn’t even know was in my front garden. It is so obscured by the ferns and hibiscus and palms that I’ve never paid attention to it. I couldn’t resist showing you this “found” sculpture. Trying to figure how it could have happened. The leaf that flew the coop, having released its hold on the branch, must be really brittle and have fallen precisely on the sharp points of the fern leaf bundle that hadn’t spread out yet. Love these chance beauties of nature.
This is for Cee’s Flower Prompt. You have to see her incredible photo of a rose Here.

This reminds me of stories about those tornadoes in places like Kansas and Oklahoma where a single straw will be sent right into a cow’s belly. Nice pix, Judy

Yes. That happened at my friend Patty’s house that was totalled by a tornado. I thought of that when I saw this photo…Our minds are in sync.

I have seen this, or similar, before. The dead leaf is on the ground and the shoot begins to grow, working it’s way through the leaf and up, carrying the dead leaf with it. Cheers Jamie

Remi, I suppose that’s as good as any other way of putting it? When I lived in Nelson B.C. I had peonies, that in spring would do such with the previous year’s foliage. Cheers Jamie

Mother nature rises again. I think hirundine is correct that it most likely was speared from the ground up. I too have seen this.

I love how someone (or two) can give you a totally different perspective on life. I’ve sure you are right.
