Volunteer Geranium

As I weeded around my fountain I spied an amazing little fellow. This sweet little geranium.

I had planted geraniums around the base of the fountain, but they didn't like the shady locale, so they didn't do well and faded away. I gave up on them, and here one of them managed to toss off a viable seed. A seed that grew and now sends up its blossom of hope on the day of the autumnal equinox.
