Calcicole refers to plants that thrive in limestone-rich soils or habitats. These unique species have adapted to the alkaline conditions and can be found in various locations around the world, as depicted in the provided pictures. In Picture No. 10899516, a delicate Snowdrop blooms on limestone soil within the Yaban Hayati National Park in the Taurus Mountains of southern Turkey. Its white petals stand out against the rocky backdrop, showcasing its ability to flourish even in harsh environments. Moving on to Picture No. 10899515, we see a vibrant Field Scabious displaying its purple flowers on downland. This calcicole plant demonstrates its resilience by thriving on chalky soils and adding a pop of color to this picturesque landscape. Picture No. 10899497 captures Dropwort in full bloom on limestone grassland. This dainty flower showcases how they can adapt and prosper amidst challenging conditions, creating beautiful displays for all to admire. A group of Herb Paris nestled within a limestone crevice is showcased in Picture No. 10899518 from Slovenia. These calcicoles demonstrate their ability to find sheltered niches within rocky terrain while still managing to grow and reproduce successfully. An Old Hawthorn Bush stands proudly on Limestone pavement near Malham Cove, located within Yorkshire Dales National Park (Picture No. 10899486). This resilient tree proves that they are not limited solely to herbaceous plants but also include hardy woody species capable of withstanding tough conditions. The Irish Saxifrage featured in Picture No. 10899486 thrives alongside Hart's Tongue Ferns on limestone pavement at The Burren in Eire (Ireland). This striking combination exemplifies how different calcicole species coexist harmoniously despite their diverse characteristics. Lastly, we observe an enchanting tufa curtain formed behind Janet's Foss waterfall near Malham (Picture No. 10899486).
