HWW. Navelwort

Umbilicus rupestris, the navelwort, penny-pies or wall pennywort, is a fleshy, perennial, edible flowering plant in the stonecrop family Crassulaceae in the genus Umbilicus so named for its umbilicate (navel-like) leaves. In this photo the leaves look a bit shrivelled, probably because it has been hot and dry for so long. There must be very little water collecting in the cracks of this wall.

Nice photo, and very interesting. I had not heard of this before. I am always impressed by the ability of some plants to find all they need to flourish even in the most unpromising places.

Lovely photo and interesting info about the plant. I didn't know the name of the plant, and certainly not the it is edible. Wonder if someone could make a meal out of it. *smile*
