Sand dunes act sort of like the blow sand we have in parts of the county, only with a lot less rainfall. Some plants manage that moving sand pretty well. They stabilize the sand, of course, but they get covered by drifting sand regularly. I wonder what the underground structures look like after a few years of that. Green briar, sandburs, clump grasses all manage very well. Those come to mind, but I'm not sure how many plants manage. I need to look closer. That's interesting that the blooms are all that show.

It is not a plant, but interesting, magical circles. We don't have to destroy the grain.

"Bad Hair Day" would be a great cultivar name!

What is that strange bloom?

Zen_man has hybridized Zinnias to do things like that, but I don;t think he has stable inbred lines from them yet.

I once found a tomato with sprouts growing from it but I don't have a photo.

Cute!

On Nantucket Island, I saw many downed trees (pine, I think) that had small pine trees growing out of them. I just hope that the tree slumped down to touch the ground before the seedling roots emerged from the bark on the underside!
