It's not looking the prettiest ATM because some pests have eaten leaves but I #respect the #determination to #grow in unexpected places.

Today's word, #Closed, made me think of the Mimosa pudica, the #Shame plant, which #Folds its leaves when touched.
The #English #Romantic #Poet, Percy Bysshe Shelley, wrote:
A Sensitive Plant in a #Garden #Grew,
& the young #Winds fed it with #Silver #Dew,
& it #Opened its fanlike #Leaves to the #Light,
& #Closed them beneath the #Kisses of #Night.
& each #Flower & #Herb on #Earth's dark #Breast
#Rose from the #Dreams of its #Wintry rest.
