Hope in a hopeless environment

Materials: Bare barberry branch, Primrose, garlic sprout.
Container: Ceramic vase.

 Only one thunbergii bare branch of barberry,   It was so harsh  in the winter, no berries, no leaves, but thorns with hopeless environment, at all.  Suddenly greenish sprout showing up from the ground with tiny yellow flowers. Yes, it is Hope yet to come!      (1-08-13)
