Sitting back with time to think and contemplate! Society needs recalibration and while I honestly feel it is actually happening there is still a thick coating of sheer ignorance that holds us back. Here is a set of photographs from what is a very small area with 4 major habitat conditions. Sheet rock under partial shade. Huge pocketed conglomerate boulders shrouded in lichens. A broken small bolder verge and slope. And a gravelly shale area with small low scrub. Look how the plants vary. In my opinion this is all H. mirabilis MBB7513 and a small representation of a vast collage of individuals and populations that comprise that system.

The flower pictures of H. mirabilis MBB7513 show how variable those can be too – despite the familiar “the flowers are all the same”.
