    Watch it grow like 3 arms and 1 eye or something mad

  4. You have this growing on your shower hose? Oh my… that isn’t just rust is it?

    Looks like terragon. Pinch a bit off and rub it and smell. Has a licorice type flavor.

  6. First of all.
    Disgusting.

    Second:
    Nature is cool 😎

    There are apps out there where you can take pics of plants and they will identify it for you.

    Sesame or probably chia seed. Maybe even flax.

    Seeds contain all they need to produce the first set of leaves, just add water. Without nutrients to sustain and soil (or some sort of medium) to root into after sprouting, it will die.

    Life finds a way. You rescue that baby and idgaf if it’s a weed, you nurture that baby! Lmaooo

    Doesn’t look like rust. Looks like biofilm goo…eww

    Also, just a guess: I’m guessing that’s a tomato plant from the leaves.

    But just a guess and the leaves could turn out to be something else entirely.

    I’m showing this to my houseplants to make them realise they have it good

    Your shower hose is soiled, literally and methaphorically

    It’s too young to tell what plant it is.
    It could be an epiphyte or lithophyte of some sort. FYI, those are not plant names, but categories.

    I’m sorry that’s not rust that’s biofilm. Please clean it or change it out at this point, this is not good for your health!

    Birds place seeds random places and then all of the sudden I have a sunflower growing from the roof gutter

    PLEASE clean that…. pretty rad for the plant though!

    It doesn’t take much for some seeds to germinate. Just moisture and the right temperature for many. This guy is probably surviving mainly off the energy stored in the seed. I doubt he’ll continue to grow for too long.
