Diplosoma retroversum leaves red

As the elements have their say about resident plant wellbeing, Diplosoma retroversum leaves lose their winter green colouring, while adding some war wound mementoes from peacetime mishaps sometimes unavoidable in their stony abodes.

One of the acquired leaf colour options is red.

The dead flowers illustrate that ageing is accompanied by challenge and effort (Frandsen, 2017; Leistner, (Ed.), 2000; Smith, et al, 1998; iNaturalist; https://www.worldfloraonline.org).
