granite, lavender, cistus and the dusty path

The path was treacherous even with good boots. So sandy and with loose gravel mixed in; very difficult to get any kind of purchase, but you expect that with dry weather and you learn to cope with experience. I actually find scrambling in among the rocks and boulders far easier and more satisfying!

A lively and thriving cascade! A very attractive composition, with those stone blocks at the top. This makes me wonder why any gardener with these plants ever waters them. For all I know you haul water up there yourself. I don't put anything past you, or mountain goats, for that matter.

Deep tap roots is the answer, Diane. They can seek out any residual moisture from any previous wet spell.

That must be the reason, Isabel!
