Sea Holly

When you walk across the dunes you might come across

Eryngium maritimum (aka sea holly and seaside eryngo).

It's an endangered species so please don't take any plants or even seeds with you.

I really like this beautiful architectural thistle!

Wow! I had never seen this large insect before. It's a great golden sand digger

Sea Holly

I bought this Sea holly (aka Eryngium maritimum) two years ago at Hex.

It's an endangered species so don't take a plant from the wild.

This plant has never flowered but the colours of the leaves are gorgeous.
