Just living is not enough ... One must have sunshine, freedom, and a little flower.

~ Hans Christian Anderson

This one is a tiny wildflower. It's growing under the cool shade of Petunias.

A tiny variety of perhaps wild pea, grew on its own and it's so very welcome! I love these wild and delicate flowers that grow on their own.
