There's a fennel plant growing out of the asphalt in a parking spot right outside my work. I can't believe this thing grows there--it's such a filthy, industrial part of San Francisco, and people are constantly snapping off its branches with their oh-so- skillful parking.
Even more astounding is that swallowtail butterflies have laid their eggs on this fennel plant and now it has some caterpillars on it! There's also one chrysalis attached to the railing of our stairs. It's incredibly hard for me to spot the caterpillars because their camouflage is so good! I took a few photos. Here's one.
