One Word Challenge: Plant

A plant is something
that sits on a sill,
grows with attention
stays quite still.

But plant can be a verb
ask any farmer you know
whose spring is consumed
with making things grow.

And what about things
that unexpectedly appear
are they haphazard, or
intentionally placed here?
