Succulent-ish plant in Wales
« on: June 25, 2015, 10:45:38 PM »
I found this plant in a nat. park in Wales and I was wondering what it is.
Seems to prefer shade, as it's growing only on one side of the road, under trees, in cracks, on stones and so on.
Haven't seen it before and it intigues me.
Some of my creations :)

Yeeees.
It's not exactly a vacation, as I am working here.
I moved to the UK  (Weston super Mare) about a month ago with a job. And my boss and wife are here on vacation. So I needed to come along.
Lots of green here... in Brecon Beacons nat park. And sheep :)

So the weeds will be happy back home in Romania... not sure my parents will have time to look after the flower garden.

Wow, I didn't know you had moved here - I hope you will be very happy here!

(there are lots of sheep in Scotland too!)
