Rock Purslane (Calandrinia) clings tenaciously to the weathered sandstone walls of Mirima National Park. Compact rosettes emerge from narrow cracks and ledges, their fresh green foliage contrasting vividly with the warm orange and rust-coloured rock. These small native succulents store precious moisture in their fleshy leaves, allowing them to endure the Kimberley’s heat and seasonal dryness. A quiet study in resilience, adaptation and life finding a foothold in stone.
