she's just my boardwalk briar rose

Sounds like a line in a country song, but in fact it's a literal thing: here is indomitable Rosa multiflora, the rambling rose, coming up through the boardwalk over the marsh by our house.



Also coming up through and around the boardwalk are some boardwalk Virginia creeper, some boardwalk poison ivy, some boardwalk oriental bittersweet, some boardwalk Japanese knotweed, and some boardwalk brome grass.

Many thanks to Wakanomori for the photo of the boardwalk briar rose!

It really does! A good one, too.

Maybe folky country--something that Jake Xerxes Fussell would sing.

Yes! Or Tom Waits, on the lines of "Coney Island Baby."
