Thank you, Val Smiling

I found two little seedlings in the impossible places last year. One of them was growing from the middle of the small rose in a pot. The little root was still attached to the seed, but it had a little leaf too.

The other seedling was growing from the middle of the native Holly; totally dry place, close to the foundation. When I pulled it out, I realize that it already had its tap root, which means that it had to be in its second or even third year. I planted both seedlings in a big pot last year. They both look very happy today Smiling

Last year, I also found a little plant just below the Snow Lotus (TP). I wanted to plant in a pot, but when I took it out, I realized that it wasn't a seedling because it had a thick horizontal root. I was more of sucker, which surprised me. I planted it, but it did not survive last fall Crying However, a couple of days ago, I noticed another little plant growing exactly at the same spot close to the Snow Lotus. I will not touch this one anymore Crossing Fingers!

The best surprise of this spring was when I realized that a little TP, which was growing beside my beloved Guardian of the Monastery showed up a couple of days ago. The Guardian did not properly leaved out last year, and I thought it was dying. However, this little TP, for which I thought it was a seedling, was growing very close to the old Guardian. Now I must not try to move it because it might not be a seedling, but it might be somehow connected with the roots of the old Guardian. It is tiny. It would really make me happy to see this little guy take off Crossing Fingers!

I should have more seedling this year, because I let lots of the seeds fell on the ground Crossing Fingers!
