Umbilicus rupestris

There is an easy way to call this plant too - Navelwort, penny-pies or wall pennywort. Much better isn't it?

It is a wild growing plant from Crassulaceae family. It has such nice, thick, fleshy leaves that are so nice and cool to the touch.Extremely pleasant in hot summer days.

I have never seen it blooming before and it got a little bit by surprise with those tiny, beige flowers. The stem is about 10-15 cm tall and the blooms are not bigger than 0.5 cm.A nice small plant. And I read it is edible (if it is not protected of course).

I can imagine some thirsty animals munching those to stay hydrated.
