I had almost forgotten

Several years ago, I noticed a guy down the street had some wild onions growing in his yard. To him, it was "just a weed". 

I asked if I could dig up a few to transplant to my yard. I like having edible wild plants growing around the house. He was agreeable to it.

That first year, they barely survived a month before withering in the heat. 

The second year, I saw no sign of them. The neighbor sold that plot of property, and the new owners landscaped it into a lawn, so there were no more wild onions there for another try.

Every year, I'd look where I had planted them, but they never made an appearance.

Until this Spring.

Now I have two small but healthy-looking clumps growing right where I'd planted them years ago. I'm going to encourage them and hope they spread a little.

Liberty works the same way.

You can plant it in someone you encounter, but there's no guarantee it will thrive. It may even appear to have died. In any case, you may not see any sign of it for several years. Don't give up hope. When you least expect it, it may sprout. And spread anew.
