Nature's Cliffhanger - Hottentot Fig Takes the Plunge at Lizard Point!
EDITORS COMMENTS
. In this breathtaking snapshot captured by David Noton, we witness a daring Hottentot fig (Carpobrotus edulis) teetering on the edge of a cliff at Lizard Point, Cornwall. Known for its audacious nature, this succulent plant seems to be living life on the edge – quite literally! As waves crash against the rocks below and coastal waters stretch out endlessly into the horizon, our fearless protagonist stands tall amidst the stunning backdrop of mainland Britain's most southerly point. With its vibrant flowers adding a pop of color to an already picturesque scene, it's hard not to admire both its beauty and bravery. The Hottentot fig belongs to the Aizoaceae family and is no stranger to rocky landscapes like these. Its ability to thrive in such harsh conditions makes it a true survivor of nature's challenges. And here it is, defying gravity with style! This print serves as a reminder that even in seemingly inhospitable environments, life finds a way to flourish. So next time you're faced with your own cliffhanger moment or feeling like you're hanging by a thread, remember this resilient little Carpobrotus edulis perched precariously on Lizard Point – if it can conquer cliffs and crashing waves, so can you!
