These groundsels have mastered the art of temperature control with their leafy insulating layer. It's like wearing a warm winter coat all year round! Mt Kenya serves as an enchanting backdrop for this botanical marvel. The rugged mountains and vast landscapes create the perfect habitat for these resilient plants to thrive.
