Found this verbena (type of flower) Growing through some rocks. I have seen this happen with celosia, snap dragons and other flowers. Very "interesting" that this Zone 7+ is able to somewhat be "self-seeding" in zones below it's threshold.Only when it is protected by rocks, cement or housing.

Love how macro lens work on orlder phone cameras. This ladybug looked pretty comfy. It was Probably trying to get some sap secreting from the broken spruce needles.
