A few of these flowers spring up each summer, which I think is the Common Rock Rose (Helianthemum nummularium). It grows in a rough bit of compacted, weedy grass where delivery drivers reverse on to and which I use as an occasional drop off point for any orders of concrete blocks, bulk bags of sand, timber and the like. The resilience of the Rock Rose is impressive. Even the recent blistering heat did not perturb them. The plants seem to thrive with these conditions rather than merely tolerate them.
