Just made it down the flood defences to this plant before it was covered by the rising tide in the Mawddach estuary. I think it’s Lax-flowered Sea Lavender #wildflowerhour

Hilbre island has something interesting to see at any time of year but when the Rock-sea lavender is flowering is my favourite. #Wildflowerhour

I was surprised. I couldn’t find any reference to it being something that is cultivated in gardens? Locally scarce in VC58 RPR

They look fantastic, great photos. Was at the Orme with kids at weekend. Despite the promise of a pound to whoever found a pointy blue or dark red flower I still haven’t seen one

Thanks I did try that but didn’t seem to work for me and the lens switching is a problem too. Maybe have to just get a manicure and make it part of the composition

The felted mushrooms I bought from your Etsy shop recently exceeded my expectations when they arrived. So much so that I put a Fibrous waxcap on very top of our Christmas tree starting a new tradition
