One of the common ones in my garden is Purslane, an edible (alien) plant.<br /><br />Alvars are a more specialized environment- like the wave washed rock on Lakeside's east end. Very few specialized plants can endure there, by growing in miniature. -MuttiWeedpickernoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-775407527468125772.post-86852654429789722392011-07-30T14:56:12.916-05:002011-07-30T14:56:12.916-05:00Weedpicker- as I was out stretching in the parking...Weedpicker- as I was out stretching in the parking lot I couldn't help but notice the resilience of some of the plants popping up from the crack in the blacktop. Are there any cool ones I should look for in the cracks? For some reason this "habitat" kind of reminded me about what you've written about aleovars (sp.? the rocks at edges of lakes). <br />As well, I keep seeing succulents featured in all kinds of gardening books & mags... any suggestions to actually win me over on the ugly little plants (I know I just blasphemed!)? Are there any that are particularly useful?Dreamkillerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11958080149718503413noreply@blogger.com
