Things in the big city are rolling along. I'm just working and doing what I do. The school year is almost over, and I am r.e.a.d.y. for a vacation. I spend a lot of time on the roof of my apartment building, for reasons mentioned in other posts. Plus it always seems I'm cleaning up or serving food or similar activities also related to the reasons mentioned in other posts. I did see a cool old Dodge truck the other day, and had the presence of mind to snap a picture. I wonder if the tags are current?
I've also taken up a bit of roof gardening. I found some planters abandoned by a former resident, and just added water! Voila! These strange flowers came up. Well, first the not-strange leaves came up, and then these definately strange flowers appeared, seemingly overnight. Are they spider lilies? Are they spider something? I also bought some seeds at the grocery store and stuck them in some other abandoned pots, added water, and waited to see what happened. And guess what? They also came up, but I don't really remember what they are. Some are sunflowers, for sure. The others look like weeds. Well, they may be weeds coming up in the pots, strangling the poor little anonymous seeds I bought. Who knows? If I post pictures, will anyone be able to identify them?
Which makes me think...if I post pictures on a blog that no one reads, are they really there? I'm going to go think on that.

I think this flower is a Hymenocallis eucharidifolia.
A Mexican species of the spider lily.
Here's link to a picture:
