False Sunflower


Noticed these showy flowers growing wildly at the roadside near the convenience store I frequent.   The flowers look similar to False Sunflower, Smooth Oxeye,  Heliopsis helianthoides, a species in the Aster family.  It looks like this plant has mastered every survival skill.

I learn more about God
from weeds than from roses;
Resilience springing
through the smallest chink of hope
in the absolute of concrete...
