Flowers surviving on a dump

During a break at work last Friday I got the camera out of the truck and had a walk around the landfill site and grabbed a feww photos.

I's amazing that anything can grow in such hostile conditions but they do.










Cheers

Very nice Steve, in deed I often wonder if for some reason we all got off this island how long it would be before the place was a wilderness about 5 to 6 years I reckon.

Re: Flowers surviving on a dump

Thanks to you all.

I like the poppy also. I think including the bud as well as the flower head worked quite well.

Cheers
