On South Gate Bridge last summer, I spotted flowers growing from between the stones of the structure. Google Images says they’re Red Valerian, but I don’t know. They were thriving in their little spot, but I think they’re gone now as the bridge was cleaned in the recent past.
Saint Fin Barre’s Cathedral is of course visible in the background, towering over nearby buildings, but still, nothing compared to nature growing, as it will.

Lovely picture.
Yes that is valerian , we get a lot of that red variety down by me at this time of the year with the occasional cream/white mixed in for good measure.

@helvick Good to know that Google Images was right! I drove over that bridge last week and the stone was shining, it was cleaned so much. I don’t think any of that flower survived, but hopefully it’ll be back. ?
