Volunteer Seedlings

This is part 3 of 4 of The Turn of a Season photoessay.

Under the oak tree they volunteer to grow and the mother plant looks even better.

-1-
Polka Dot plant start gaining its color back
after looking so drearily dull
in the hottest days of summer.

They all have been moved
from the other side of oak tree
to save them from burning.

There is even a seedling now coming up
not too far from the mother plant!


-2-
Periwinkle blooming.
This is a volunteer from last year's seeds.


-3-
I thought I have lost this Oxalis many times,
but despite its sad look it's been surviving
not only from weather
but also critters' footsteps
for a couple of years here.
