Malva sylvestris is a species of the mallow genus Malva in the family of Malvaceae and is considered to be the type species for the genus.
(Wiki)
High Mallow is a spreading perennial herb, about 3 ft tall. In wild it can grow taller. Stems are straight or prostrate, branched and covered with fine soft hairs or none at all. The leaves are alternately arranged, deep green, soft, and downy. They are roundish, and have 3-7 shallow lobes, each 2-5 cm across. Leaf stalk is either 2-6 cm or 2-13 cm long. The flowers are large, numerous, and of purple color. They appear in clusters of 2-4 in leaf axils. Sepals are five, petals five, pollen large, whitish. Petals are wrinkly to veined on the backs, more than 1.5-2.3 cm long and 1 cm wide, eggshaped, margin notched with a fringe of hairlike projections. Seeds or 'cheeses' are brown to brownish green when ripe, about 2.5 mm wide, 5-7 mm in diameter and are shaped like a cheese wheel which inspired on of its common names. High Mallow is widespread in Africa, Europe and Asia. Within India it is found in the Himalayas, from Kashmir to Kumaon up to an altitude of 2400 m.
Medicinal uses: [Warning: Unverified information] High Mallow possesses the properties common to mucilaginous herbs, and an infusion thereof forms an excellent demulcent in coughs, irritations of the air-passages, flux, affections of the kidney and bladder, etc. In inflammatory conditions of the external parts, the bruised herb forms an excellent application, making, as it does, a natural emollient cataplasm.

Gypsophila repens (Caryophyllaceae,) 224 19
Gypsophila repens (known as alpine gypsophila or creeping baby's breath) is a species of flowering plant of the family Caryophyllaceae, native to the mountains of central and southern Europe, where it grows on dry, chalky slopes.
It is a prostrate, mat-forming herbaceous perennial, growing around 20 cm tall by 30–50 cm wide.
For much of the summer, it bears masses of star-shaped flowers which may be white, lilac or light purple, in loose panicles.

We spent a spectacular day hiking among these buttes and rolling sand hills. The exposed, dead roots in the foreground are Creeping Juniper, a prostrate evergreen shrub that is common in our area. You can see the living plants growing in clusters throughout this photo, along with rabbitbrush and native grass that - unfortunately - I didn't take time to identify. It may be Northern Wheat Grass (a wild guess).
The shattered rock appears to be ironstone, perhaps the remnants of a concretion - I'm full of wild guesses today, but I have seen ironstone concretions in this national park. When dinosaurs roamed, this entire area was a vast, shallow seabed, so conditions were favourable for the development of concretions.
Botanical and geological specifics aside, the dispersal pattern of these rock fragments led me to this composition. Patterns out of chaos, especially in a primal landscape, always pull me in.

More from our garden.
The Cranesbill is really the TRUE Geranium, what we too often call Geranium is the Pelargonium, with flower heads and not hardy like these here.
Geranium phaeum ‘Lily Lovell’.
The name "cranesbill" derives from the appearance of the seed-heads, which have the same shape as the bill of a crane.
Also known as Hardy Geranium, Rozanne Cranesbill, Blood Red Cranesbill
Large blue blooms with darker veining are held in clusters above the foliage, giving the plant in bloom an airy appearance.
It has a thick rhizome(A horizontal, usually underground stem that often sends out roots and shoots from its nodes. Also called rootstock).
The stems are prostrate to ascending, well developed, very branched and hairy as are the buds.
.An enormous variety, often very fragrant leaves, gives you a clue that it is a medicinal plant.
Geranium plants could hold the key to a new generation of HIV treatments, research suggests.
Extracts of the geranium plant Pelargonium sidoides inactivate HIV-1 and prevent the virus invading human cells.
Have a super day and thank you, M, (*_*)

P. asarifolium is a geophyte with small tubers and entire, cordate, prostrate leaves. A noteworthy feature of this species is the small wine-red flowers with only two reflexed petals. The sepals are shorter than the five fertile stamens and recurved so that the stamens protrude from the flower. The staminal column is long, wine-red.
"QUICK TOM ITS A TURTLE DOVE I THINK !" No way I think to myself, my wife does not know one bird from another, so I amble to the kitchen window, and as my jaw hit the floor, I made a quick about turn to grab my camera, so this was taken through a diamond leaded window, very difficult, but it was what she said, a juvenile one. My closest encounter with this Red Listed bird, and it was gone within five mins, but so unforgettable, hence I dug out a image not shown before.

Every year, thousands make a pilgrimage to Kailash, following a tradition going back thousands of years. Pilgrims of several religions believe that circumambulating Mount Kailash on foot is a holy ritual that will bring good fortune. The peregrination is made in a clockwise direction by Hindus and Buddhists while Jains and Bönpos circumambulate the mountain in a counterclockwise direction.
The path around Mount Kailash is 52 km (32 mi) long. Some pilgrims believe that the entire walk around Kailash should be made in a single day, which is not considered an easy task. A person in good shape walking fast would take perhaps 15 hours to complete the entire trek.
Some of the devout do accomplish this feat, little daunted by the uneven terrain, altitude sickness and harsh conditions faced in the process. Indeed, other pilgrims venture a much more demanding regimen, performing body-length prostrations over the entire length of the circumambulation: The pilgrim bends down, kneels, prostrates full-length, makes a mark with his fingers, rises to his knees, prays, and then crawls forward on hands and knees to the mark made by his/her fingers before repeating the process. It requires at least four weeks of physical endurance to perform the circumambulation while following this regimen.

The prostrate stems, shortly branched heads of white to reddish flowers, and rosettes of round silvery leaves immediately set this handsome species off from other buckwheats. It is characteristic of loose decomposed granite soils at middle to alpine elevations in the Sierra Nevada and Siskiyou Mountains of northern and eastern California and southwestern Oregon, and extends shortly eastward into some of the higher Great Basin mountain ranges along the western fringes of adjacent Nevada.
Brachythecium rutabulum, commonly known as Rough-stalked Feather-moss or Ordinary Moss, is one of the most widespread mosses in temperate regions. It is a "pleurocarpous" moss, meaning it grows in spreading, prostrate mats rather than upright tufts.

Once a year we all make a pilgrimage to a messy, litter strewn lay-by in West Kent. You get down prostrate on the dry leaves and MacDonald's wrappers to get the best shot as cars, lorries and bikes zoom past within inches of your head and stop if they think you have collapsed on the roadside "Which always happens to me, god bless the British motorist!" And here in this roadside stop is the only accessible population of Kent's Green Flowered Helleborine's. Worth it, definitely........
Dedicate image to lady who shouted across road to check I was ok as I was prostrate in verge. She wondered whether I had collapsed! Not the oddest chat I've had photographing but one of the nicer ones BIG thanks to my good samaritan

Fresco Christ's Raising of Lazarus - a biblical episode, the revival of the deceased Lazarus from Bethany by Jesus Christ; New Testament history (John 11:1-45); the plot of numerous works of art.
The raising of Lazarus is a story of the miracle of Jesus recounted only in the Gospel of John (John 11:1–44) in the New Testament, as well as in the Secret Gospel of Mark (a fragment of an extended version of the Gospel of Mark) in which Jesus raises Lazarus of Bethany from the dead four days after his entombment. The event took place at Bethany. In John, this is the last of the miracles that Jesus performs before the passion, crucifixion and his own resurrection.
Svedomsky’s painting “The Raising of Lazarus” is located on the western wall of the northern nava. It is written on the text:
“Christ cried with a loud voice: Lazarus, come out! And the dead man came out, entwined on his hands and feet with burial cloths, and his face was tied with a scarf.”
The picture shows the inside of a grotto, into which stone steps lead. Christ stands in the grotto with his right hand raised. His face is calm. In front of him is a gaping hole at the bottom of the grotto, from which a dead man rises, all wrapped in linen. One of Lazarus’ sisters, kneeling next to Christ, with her arms naked, raised and slightly thrown back, fixed her joyful and perplexed gaze on her brother emerging from the grave. The other fell prostrate at the feet of Christ. Behind the Savior are two male figures. Very characteristic is the figure of an old man with a face on which shines unshakable faith in the Divine power of the Wonderworker. Consciousness of this power, reverence and involuntary fear leave their imprints on this face. Above, on the steps of the grotto, stand a man and a woman, pressed against the entrance wall in horror. The lamp standing at the bottom of the cave, behind Lazarus, illuminates the figure of a Jew, also in horror, pressed against the corner of the cave and convulsively clutching his chest with his hands. The reflections of the same lamp give beautiful reflections on the clothes of Christ and on the figures of Lazarus’s sisters.
Pavel Svedomsky in collaboration with Wilhelm Kotarbinsky.
From the cycle of the Passion of the Lord - in the paintings in the Kyiv Volodymyr Cathedral: “The Resurrection of Lazarus”, “The Entry of the Lord into Jerusalem”, “The Last Supper”, “Prayer for the Cup”, “The Judgment of Pilate”.

Воскресіння Лазаря — це історія чуда Ісуса, описана лише в Євангелії від Іоанна (Іоанна 11:1–44) у Новому Завіті, а також у Таємному Євангелії від Марка (фрагмент розширеної версії Євангеліє від Марка), в якому Ісус воскрешає Лазаря з Віфанії через чотири дні після його поховання. Подія відбулася у Віфанії. В Іоанна це останнє з чудес, які Ісус здійснює перед страстями, розп’яттям і власним воскресінням.
Картина Сведомського (+ Котарбінський) «Воскресіння Лазаря» знаходиться на західній стіні північноі нави. Вона написана на текст:
«Христос закликав гучним голосом: Лазарю, йди геть! І вийшов померлий, обвитий по руках і ногах похоронними пеленами, і обличчя його було обв'язане хусткою».
На картині стіни грота, в який ведуть кам'яні сходи. Христос стоїть у гроті з піднесеною правицею. Обличчя його спокійне. Перед ним зяючий отвір на дні грота, з якого піднімається мертвий, весь закутаний у полотно. Одна з сестер Лазаря, стоячи навколішки поруч із Христом, з оголеними, піднятими й дещо відкинутими назад руками, зупинила радісний і здивований погляд свій на братові, що виходив з могили. Інша впала ниць до ніг Христа. Позаду Спасителя дві чоловічі фігури. Дуже характерна постать старого з обличчям, на якому світиться непохитна віра в Божественну силу Чудотворця. Свідомість цієї сили, благоговіння та мимовільний страх дають свої відбитки на цій особі. Вище, на східцях грота стоять чоловік і жінка, що з жахом притиснулися до стіни входу. Світильник, що стоїть на дні печери, позаду Лазаря, висвітлює постать іудея, який також у жаху притиснувся до кута печери і конвульсивно схоплює себе за груди руками. Відблиски того ж світильника дають гарні рефлекси на одязі Христа та на фігурах сестер Лазаря.
«Есть страшная легенда о Лазаре.
Воздвигнутый всемогущим словом Иисуса из своей трехдневной гробницы, он прожил еще несколько лет. Но ни разу в продолжение этой второй жизни Лазарь не улыбнулся и никому не сказал ни слова. И взгляда его опустелых глаз, видавших тайну смерти, не мог выдержать ни один из живущих.
Мне кажется, что молчание Лазаря было еще ужаснее, чем непереносимая тяжесть его взгляда. Ибо Лазарь знал, что на человеческом языке нет звуков, слов и образов, достаточно сильных для выражения того, что он видел.»

Gal Demata ((Impatiens repens) ගල් දෙමට is an endemic prostrate herb that can be seen mainly on rocks, in moist and shaded places in wet zone up to about 1200 m elevations. Flowering most of the year.
An easy care groundcovering Banksia, growing to just under a metre high and 2 metres wide. With large yellow flowers borne for most of the year- from summer through to winter-they are bird attracting and make good cut flowers. Suits seaside gardens, looks great when mass planted. Drought and frost tolerant once established.
Banksia is a genus of plants in the family Proteaceae. Southwest Western Australia is the main centre of biodiversity and over 90% of all Banksia species occur only there. One of them is Banksia dallanney, a prostrate shrub that only has a short above-ground stem. It is fire tolerant, regenerating from an underground lignotuber. The individual small flowers occur in inflorescences which are orange-brown in colour and about 50 mm (2 inches) in diameter. They are arranged in a ring and curve towards the central axis leaving a circular hole in the middle.

Blueberries are flowering plants of the genus Vaccinium with dark-blue, -purple or black berries. Species in the section Cyanococcus are the most common fruits sold as "blueberries" and are mainly native to North America[1]. They are usually erect but sometimes prostrate shrubs varying in size from 10 cm tall to 4 m tall. In commercial blueberry production, smaller species are known as "lowbush blueberries" (synonymous with "wild"), and the larger species as "highbush blueberries". The leaves can be either deciduous or evergreen, ovate to lanceolate, and from 1–8 cm long and 0.5–3.5 cm broad. The flowers are bell-shaped, white, pale pink or red, sometimes tinged greenish.
The fruit is a false berry 5–16 mm diameter with a flared crown at the end; they are pale greenish at first, then reddish-purple, and finally blue on ripening. They have a sweet taste when mature, with variable acidity. Blueberry bushes typically bear fruit from May through June though fruiting times are affected by local conditions such as altitude and latitude.

O mirtilo, também conhecido como arando ou uva-do-monte, ou até blueberry (Vaccinium myrtillus) é um arbusto que pertence à família Ericaceae (família da azálea). As plantas são arbustos de pequeno porte que crescem em sub-bosques de florestas temperadas na Europa. Vive em regiões nas quais o inverno é bastante rigoroso, daí a dificuldade em cultivá-lo no Brasil.
Em Portugal vive em regiões nas quais o inverno é rigoroso, porque necessita em média de 500 horas anuais de temperatura entre os 10º e os 12º celsius. É na zona do médio Vouga, no vale do Rio Vouga que se encontra o local ideal para a produção deste fruto, nos concelhos de Oliveira de Frades, Sever do Vouga, Águeda e Albergaria-a-Velha, sendo Sever do Vouga o que reúne as melhores condições.

Found growing along the rocky headland of Yallingup only meters from the pounding surf.
An edible bushfood. The red purple fruit has a flavour described by some as like salty apples.
Its thick fleshy leaves can be eaten raw or cooked and the juice from the leaves used to soothe stings or burnt skin. The juice from the leaves can be mixed with water and used as a gargle for sore throats and mild bacterial infections of the mouth. The fruit has a mild laxative effect.
The prostrate, creeping succulent is one of about 20 species of the genus Carpobrotus, most of which are native to South Africa. Six are indigenous to Australia.

Allah (God) said : And remember when We made the House (Ka‘bah at Makkah) a place of resort for mankind and a place of safety. And take you (people) the Maqâm (place) of Ibrâhîm (Abraham) [or the stone on which Ibrâhîm (Abraham) stood while he was building the Ka‘bah] as a place of prayer, and We commanded Ibrâhîm (Abraham) and Ismâ‘îl (Ishmael) that they should purify My House (the Ka‘bah at Makkah) for those who are circumambulating it, or staying (I‘tikâf), or bowing or prostrating themselves (there, in prayer).
And (remember) when Ibrâhîm (Abraham) said, "My Lord, make this city (Makkah) a place of security and provide its people with fruits, such of them as believe in Allâh and the Last Day." He (Allâh) answered: "As for him who disbelieves, I shall leave him in contentment for a while, then I shall compel him to the torment of the Fire, and worst indeed is that destination!"
