tenacity

 

Whether you call it tansy, prairie aster or just plain weed, this plant shows its tenacious nature by enduring in sidewalk cracks.  One year my friend and I scoured outdoor centers looking for a Tahoka Daisy to plant in our gardens.  Imagine our surprise on noon walks around City Hall to find Tansy's cousin, the Tahoka Daisy, growing in urban profusion along sidewalks, by alleys and in vacant lots.
