Cliff--very interesting to see the various arrangements nature has come up
with--probably almost anything you could imagine... I remember photos from
South Africa (which I don't think I saved, but should dig for) of the most
extreme crevice garden you could imagine-- tall, very thin vertical pieces
of rock: like layers pried apart slightly, with a bounty of succulents
spilling out and over the rocks--all planted by nature!
