Survival of the fittest...............

Plants perhaps are the most resilient of living things....As "victims of their own environment" they cannot just "run" away from the dangers posed by an approaching herbivore, a fire, insect or pathogen! We and other animals can just move away and find a safe haven somewhere.

 Plants are resilient and can survive by adaptation....Given a bit of favourable environment, they just unleash themselves...here are some faithful followers of Darwin's Law No. III..


the small bit of soil amidst the bitumen is enough...........


Macranga peltata..the true colonizer! the rocks have been there for some time...

wow....resilient indeed.......

those boulders are about a meter in height..yet!

this time, the Trema orientalis shows its colonizing and survival abilities
