Rock Garden - a photo on Flickriver

Rock Garden

Identifying species of Dudleya is debatable even among botanists, so I'm guessing this is D. caespitosa, Coast Dudleya with Niebla homalea, Armored Fog Lichen, near the base of
Morro Rock, Morro Bay, California

From a distance the rocks on the east side of Morro Rock, which are covered with these lichen, seem somewhat softer appearing to me, at least compared to the nearby rocks, which are either bare or have less conspicuous crustose lichen. The first colonizers of bare rock, lichen then provide footholds for the plants. On some other bare-appearing parts of Morro Rock, these Dudleya probably gain some soil foothold in cracks in the rock.
