Hello Aahangar! I'm so used to seeing this plant planted in ornamental schemes in London that it's truly amazing to see it growing in the wild like this! It really shows just how beautiful it is, when contrasted with the rock. I especially love the second shot where it's just peeking out of the crevice :)
