Seniors Are Never Bolder Than During "Favorite Plant" Challenge
I'd like to go by climbing a birch tree,
And climb black branches up a snow-white trunk,
Toward heaven, till the tree could bear no more,
But dipped its top and set me down again.
That would be good both going and coming back.
One could do worse than be a swinger of birches.

Robert Frost
And so, for the weekly Senior Squid challenge I suggested this; your favorite or most interesting plant!
No not your favorite color or book or movie.
We are mature, experienced visitors, lookers, thinkers, wanderers and just plain gardeners.
This is the lensography for the Favorite Plant challenge.
