Barogelmon’s Garden
Barogelmon truly loved his garden. Over the years he had cultivated many flowers. Usually he would only have one flower at a time in his garden. At time he would allow more than one to grow, but not often. Every so often a wild rose, or wild vine would grow into the garden, but Barogelmon tried to keep the only one flower growing at a time. As most people who have ever gardened can attest to, he was not able to always do this. Barogelmon;s garden is now empty of everything he has tried to cultivate. All the flowers have gone. Some seeds that he recently tried to plant did not take root. The flowers that he had spent so long cultivating in the past have gone. His garden looks bare.
But, in the back corner there is a wild flower. One of the flowers that has come and gone for many years.
Should he try to cultivate this flower? Or should he let it just grow free? Or, knowing that all flowers die in the end, stop it growth before it develops roots?
Sometimes wild flowers are the best. I see leave it be for now, let it grow and see if it flourishes in his garden on its own. If so, then perhaps a bit of cultivation is in order.

I agree with TS. Wildflowers are best left to grow in their own way. If the conditions are right things will flourish.
