beautiful of all? Interpret this any way you want.

If you like dandelions, sure. Out of pure concrete, there they are. Rare and most beautiful? I would keep that opinion to your self. On the other hand, the word 'adverse' is ambiguous. In the Latin syllabus, it breaks down to 'ad ver se' or in English 'it look know'.

I think so. Both in the physical world and in the experience of life. In the most barren places to find even a small hint of beauty, a ray of sunshine like that is a blessing. It gives you the needed boost to perservere through tough circumstances. Its an image of hope, a promise that you can get through this. So yeah, if I found a flower in an adverse environment I would definately find it more beautiful than something grown in a hot house.

No maybe not the rarest or the most beautiful but certainly the toughest and most resilient. Actually I think the rarest flower is that ugly corpse flower. Pax - C

Yes, I believe that it is. In a desolate landscape, such a vibrant sign of life would be most welcomed. Assuming this is a lone flower, this would be the most beautiful, since there is no other to compare it with.

I saw the actual flower! I was on the interstate on an overpass, and there was a great big sunflower growing out of a crack in the concrete! And we don't have that many sunflowers around here. It was indeed beautiful because it was so unexpected. The next day it was on the local news. The day after the newscast it was gone, but I felt privileged to have seen it.

It is indeed rare that something beautiful grows in an adverse environment. It should be nourished and protected.
