We noticed these flowers growing out of the curb, right across from the Volume One World Headquarters on S. Barstow Street in downtown Eau Claire. We snapped a few photos, and then, the very next day, they were gone. Not sure if they got ripped out by hand or smooshed by an insanely bad parallel parker. At any rate, how cool is this?

It’s no question that these flowers are descendants of the hanging plants draping from the light poles around downtown, but there’s some debate in the office as to if these flowers were replanted by some sort of urban gorilla gardener or if Mother Nature Herself blew some flower bits down there (view mind-blowing artist’s rendering).

Have you guys seen any other cool examples of rogue plants around town? Last I checked, there was basically a small tree growing on the rooftop of the old Huebsch building on the corner of Galloway and S. Dewey (visible from Galloway).

UPDATE! Check out the rogue flora photographed by VolumeOne.org reader Pookums ... "in front of Zanzibar in downtown Menomonie. They're spreading, like a disease" Click for a closer look:
