Bet you can't find my little vagrant

I wrote about the little weed/flower that has pushed its way up between the paving slabs at our house. I took a photo of the area to show the scale. I bet you’re battling to find the plant, aren’t you? It’s about in the middle of the photo in a line straight down from the rubbish bin. It’s three and a half slabs to the left of the middle of the door. Let me know if you manage to spot it.

I could not see it on my own, but after reading the second paragraph of your post I see it. It is such a clean and clear area.

@JudyEv It looks like it is as neat as a pin.

My clothes line is against the wall on the left. There is nothing really to make the paving dirty in that area.

@Ronrybs He got rained on again last night so that will do him for a day or two.

I found it, it's really tiny as are many of the plants that grow in our desert.

I guess small plants don't need so much water.

I could see it as soon as I looked at your photo. Cute little thing.

It's like a tiny blemish on the pavement.

It's miniscule, isn't it? It's basically just a speck in the photo.

It's more like a smudge. You can understand why I blew up the previous image.

Yup, I see it. I also see that it's in danger of being stomped on.

I've dodged it so far. I don't go out too often and I've finished with laundry for a few days now.

It looks like a smudge. The vertical line in the pavers is covered just a tiny bit.

It's more like a smudge than anything else.

Yes, I can see it. (I actually saw it before reading your post.) It looks like very fine lines with a whitish looking flower in the center of the photo.

I wouldn't have paid enough attention to find it if you hadn't made the challenge.

For sure, I don't think you'd notice it if you weren't looking for it.

@JudyEv You're right, if I wasn't already looking for it, I wouldn't have noticed it growing there.

@judyev Got it! And what a forlorn little thing it looks. And what beautifully clean paving you have.

It's tiny, isn't it? I can't imagine how long it will survive.
