To take root in any soil.

To thrive regardless of the surroundings.

To add an unexpected charm to a barren spot.

To pop up and smile from a crevice.

To bloom whatever the season be.

To weather the storms,

beat the heat,

bear the cold,

and yet flourish.

The resilient sadaphuli. A childhood memory of a pot on my grandmother’s sill. Taking root in stray corners. A flash of colour and life in otherwise abandoned gardens. Lining the circumference of a traffic circle. A burst of lavender and white.

Evergreen. Strong.  How terrific to be able to withstand what life throws at you and persistently smile.
