Now this one is nice!
The yellow and green of the plant really goe well with the blue/gray of the rock. Great comp also. Just a hair more room on the left would have been nice. If you mat this you'll loose a little bit of what you have now and you'll end up being dangerously close to the edge.

Beautiful contrast between the color and delicacy of the flowers and the jagged rock. I agree that a little more room on the left would be ideal.

Very cool! Amazing to see their toe-hold on life!

Verrry nice, Richard! Good eye on this one - great environmental context, too. Beautiful!

This is definitely my favorite so far Richard, great work. I'm jealous; I tried to photograph some of these yellow compound umbels, but messed up the DOF on all the ones I liked. It looks like the yellows in the flowers are losing a little detail, probably from a channel blowing (see Mark H. note in your poppy post).

I like this one Richard. Nice find! Great lines and good contrast between rock and flowers here.
