Life Finds A Way: 25 Plants That Just Won't Give Up

Life Finds A Way: 25 Plants That Just Won't Give Up - An entire ship succumbed to a miniature forest. I can’t help but wonder what sorts of creatures call this abandoned ship home.

Plants will grow wherever they can find a small crack of sunlight, a glimmer of hope. There is something that thrives within all living things, a force that drives us to want to live over anything else. Although plants don’t have the brains to think on such a complex level about survival as we do, they undeniably want to live.

Have you ever had a plant that you forgot to water? Then, just as it looked to be dead as a doorknob you realized you should probably water it? All that it takes is a little love and care and that plant will come right back to life. The plant wants to live, and will live if given even the faintest resources to try and make do with.

These 25 plants prove that if you don’t give up, you can flourish from just about anywhere!

A tree grows right out of this old building, and it’s not the only one. It sounds truly strange, but there are a number of buildings around the world that have trees growing out of them.

I’d hate to tell whoever lives here this, but when plants start growing out of brick the structure is bound to become severely compromised. While this makes for a pretty neat sight, you don’t want your own brick structure to take on the same ‘earthy’ appearance.
