A couple of days ago, I ended up in the village of Harlaxton, where there are drystone walls everywhere. Somehow the common Aubrieta, has got a foothold and appears everywhere, naturalized on many of the walls. It is a very common alpine of course, but what a wonderful free gift in the right setting.

Had to look up "Drystone"...exceptionally beautiful. I recall seeing them in my youth in upstate N.Y.

Yes, it is world wide but only in certain places, usually where the native rock comes in plain strata, which lends itself to construction without mortar.
