hi Shawn, we get rain usually in the noon this time of year. This particular limestone hill is always moist and the air very cooling. The dense forest also helped. Trees are always green and there is no annual shedding of leaves.There is constant water seepage and more abundant after a torrential rain. Not just the northiana benefits but lots of other plants associated with limestone. your explaination was conscise as the exposed vertical cliff, which is east facing, has some very dense northiana population.
