One of the plants found in the pulo is this Umbilicus Rupestre, or Venus' Navel, also known as navelwort. In traditional medicine this plant was used to aid in the expelling of afterbirth, and for healing bruises, burns, scalds, chilblains, corns, earache, epilepsy, eye troubles, fever, jaundice, scruff, shingles, skin troubles, sores, stings, pulmonary tuberculosis, ulcers and warts.
Useful little plant, eh?

This is such a lovely series, Saretta. I'm just catching up and so enjoying it.
I have this plant in my garden. Thanks for all that information. Fascinating. Yes very useful
I love how nature takes a foothold and will find a way through. Really nicely done.
I think I know this plant! Does it make orange/yellowish flowers?
Lovely photo, I like the contrast between gray and green
Thanks You for the Chinese New Year Wishes & The Year of OX.
Have a wonderful weekend.
HA! Someone should sell it at the pharmacy.
