Galium canum

A small cushion like plant that grows in cliffs. Flower minute purplish.
Galium canum I simply love seeing plants that grow directly from the rocks and the cliffs. it always amazes me that such a small organism - the plant in the picture can be covered completely by 2 hands - can find a tiny crack in a cliff, and live there. Galium canum,Geotagged,Spring
