I've always thought that, too. It's so amazing how plants that look so delicate and fragile can really grow in such tough environments like lava rock or on the sides of rocky cliffs or wherever. I love the contrast in this image - the bright yellow flowers against the black of the rock.

i find it symbolic... how one can live and weather the most seemingly difficult, hard situation...
the perspective, color, lighting and details of this picture is awesome, Craig.
