We Will Rise Up

We noticed this yellow Alstroemeria blooming on the north side of the house the other day.



That's not unusual; there are lots of other Alstroemeria plants in that flower bed.  What made it unusual was that it wasn't in the flower bed, but on top of the four foot tall chain link fence running between our house and the neighbors' house.  These plants only grow to about 18 to 24 inches tall.   It appeared to be growing out of the the Thunbergia vine that is growing up and over the fence.


I don't know what this Alstromeria plant is living on, or where it'g getting water, but it is surviving.

Maybe it's a metaphor for our times, a sign that when our own survival seems improbable that we can still not only survive, but even rise up.
