As you motor down life's road, pull over from time to time to photograph the flowers. That's my advice. The Alderpoint road goes up about 2000' so the flowers tend to move up the mountain over time as each microclimate adjusts to the light and temperature. I found these:

by the roadside, growing on a kind of cliff face of soil. There were a lot of them.

You are quite right, they grow on dry sunny banks and rocky faces.
Thanks for posting.
