Very interesting; but, can you show us the photos not so heavily cropped, as well, please? It'd be nice to actually see the "in-situ" part that is beyond the frame in these photos. That would help a lot in putting the whole scene into context for us. Thanks!

Now I need to locate a nice rock crevice for a micranthum.
Thank you for the photos. I appreciate seeing in situ
growing conditions.

Was this a scientific expedition? A sightseeing trip? Is this your back yard?

I second the request for wider framed pictures to give a better idea of growing conditions. What were the conditions at the time these were taken?

No, it is about 400km away from my home.

The plant looks fairly exposed to the sun light. Are there more plants above this one? Do you think this plant seeded itself there or maybe its a plantlet landed there from above?

thank-you so much.
I guess; fast drainage with deep ,constant moisture and good airflow and light. Cool root zone.

Great pictures!
Thank you very much for sharing them.

I'm also curious about the growing area there.
Do you remember which side that rock faces? North, east, south?
Any taller trees or just out in the open like it seems to look like in the photos?

Do you know how warm it gets during the day in that area??

Thanks.

 

[SlipperFan]

I love the photos, and all the questions they have generated.

 

[NYEric]

Too bad there are not photos of them open.

Canh, thanks for these lovely photos, they are very impressive.

No, it is about 400km away from my home......

So you live closer to the middle of Vietnam? As far as I know is the natural habitat of P. micranthum only located in the very northwest of the country.

OK, I will.

Thank you! That's exactly what I was hoping you could show us. The close-up photos are great, too, of course. But, it helps so much to see them close-up AND from a bit of a distance. We're very lucky to have you as a member here. Thanks very much for taking the time to share your photos!
