While elders would prostrate in obeisance to the presiding deity. as a kid I would love cart wheeling on the cool , spacious floor. No admonition from disapproving elders could prevent me from having fun on this 'holy playground'.
The prostrate wild 'rock garden' flowers by the side of the path from the top end of Lathkill Dale up to the long-disused Ricklow quarry are at their best now. This year has probably the best display I've seen on these small limestone outcrops that break through the shallow soil. Bumble bees and butterflies all around as well.
Quote from Alpine Garden Society web site...”Subshrub with prostrate branches and erect flowering shoots. Leaves lanceolate to obovate, 1-2.5cm long, prominently toothed and hairy. Flowerheads up to 2.5cm wide, the ray florets pink to rose-red, singly on 7.5cm long stalks, summer. South Africa. Needs plenty of sun to flower well but seems to be one of the hardiest species, having survived the cold winters of the 1980s at Kew.”

low prostrate shrub, not identified; might be one of those rubbery little things starting with "c".
Kalgoorlie area, Western Australia.
We dug it out (all but the bay tree and the rue), we extended it, we put in lots of new topsoil and other goodies. Now I get to replant it.

Vaccinium dentatum Smith var. lanceolatum (A. Gray) Skottsberg (O`ahu type)
Hawaiian names: `ōhelo
Family: Ericaceae - the heath family
Habit: a prostrate shrub.
Endemic to O`ahu (Wai`anae and Ko`olau Mountains).
I do not know what the lower and upper limits of V. dentatum var. lanceolatum are along this ridge. There is some growing at the Poamoho Trail trailhead, and it appears that for at least 1.8 kilometers past the trailhead the only Vacciniums present are V. dentatum var. lanceolatum, V. calycinum var. calycinum, and V. calycinum var. calycinum x V. dentatum var. lanceolatum hybrids. Vaccinium dentatum var. dentatum is apparently restricted to the wettest areas along or near the Ko`olau summit ridge.

A small prostrate bush I spotted growing alongside a bushtrack in Warrimoo, Lower Blue Mountains. I think it might be Hibbertia serpyllifolia but I am not great at telling Hibbertia apart (at least not yet). I sure hope it is Hibbertia serpyllifolia as I recently put a tubestock of one of those in the garden, and this one’s a beauty!
"This obelisk, prostrate for centuries on the sands of Alexandria, was presented to the British National AD 1819 by Mohammed Ali, Viceroy of Egypt, a worthy memorial of our distinguished countrymen Nelson and Abercromby. This obelisk was brought from Alexandra encased in a cylinder. It was abandoned in a storm in the Bay of Biscay, recovered and erected in this spot in the 42nd year of the reign of Queen Victoria: 1878."

Here a man prostrates before entering the main temple.
The Palcho Monastery was founded in 1418 by Rabten Kunzang Phak, the second Prince of Gyantse, who was a devotee of Kedrub Je, a prominent disciple of Je Tsongkhapa and later recognized as the first Panchen Lama.
The monastery is unique for its multi-denominational character, housing three different sects of Tibetan Buddhism: the Sakyapa, Gelugpa, and the obscure Buton suborder. This coexistence of multiple sects under one roof is rare among Tibetan monasteries.
The monastery has experienced significant historical events, including partial destruction during the 1959 Tibetan uprising and subsequent restoration. It was also affected during the Cultural Revolution but has, once more, since been largely restored.
The monastery's architecture reflects a blend of Han, Tibetan, and Nepali styles.

Leaves are circular to ovate with toothed margins, 1–3 cm long, whitish and felt-like below; main veins sunken, giving a ‘corrugated’ appearance. Flowers are yellow, with 5 petals, each petal 4–5 mm long; borne on slender stalks from leaf axils. Fruits are flattened, globular, about 5 mm across, consisting of 5–10 wedge-shaped mericarps. Flowering is mainly in spring, but also in summer after favourable rains. Found in most vegetation communities. Grows on a variety of soil types, including sands and clays. Extremely drought tolerant. Grows throughout the warmer months of the year following suitable rainfall. Provides palatable forage for stock. Useful groundcover - protects soil. Provides pollen for native insects.
