      Hello BMcS2020,

      Some plants are crazy resistance to the bad environment around them. Sometimes the littlest crack in a fully paved road can already be enough for some little piece of grass or something else to grow there. The same about rocks. It has always been fascinating to me, when I was going for a hike in high mountains (like 20000 meters above sea level) and could see something like that on a naked, “wild” rock.
