Spontaneous Vegetation II

In this series of photos I am documenting spontaneous vegetation wherever I find it.
Various plants and trees are thriving on industrial buildings along the Horikawa in the center of Nagoya, Japan.

Spontaneous vegetation: “…defined as all plants that develop without intentional horticultural input, is a characteristic element of the urban environment. It grows at no financial cost, is authentic and is always appropriate to site conditions.” (Kühn, N. “Intentions for the Unintentional: Spontaneous Vegetation as the Basis for Innovative Planting Design in Urban Areas”, 2006), “the de facto native vegetation of the city.” (Del Tredici, P. “Wild urban plants of the northeast”, 2010).
