Another description I find it hard to picture...

Southwards, it was open, with a view down to the distant sea. From a tall rock, water fell and lay in a quiet pool, before it ran through the red flowers and down into the ravine. I dropped my bag among the flowers and knelt at the edge of the pool....

The second sentence is the one I'm having a dificulty. Is water runnning through the red flowers??

Thanks.

It means that the water is flowing through the area where the red flowers are growing.
