        @Scrungee if you are asking what the yellow plant is I think it is a Yellow Horned Poppy(Glaucium flavum) which enjoy growing in seaside conditions.Those long green stems are the seed pods and once they go brown and crisp the seeds inside will be all along the inside of the pod so don't grow as a pepper pot to hold the seeds like a lot of the Poppy's do:smile:

              I think it would've been better if the time spent in the (Tamarisk Farm) fields was reduced/more targeted, allowing time for the wild flowers on the beach to be included on the return to the car park.

              Not really Ellen's domain though, she gives her time freely for the guide round the farm. She showed us places we wouldn't usually be allowed to walk.

              We can walk along the Chesil anytime we want to.

              Not sure what this succulent is, have to look it up when I get back.

              It formed a fair sized mat

              Sea Kale flowers and seed pods. The pods are filled with a corky substance that floats.

                  That looks like a really nasty pernicious weed in the foreground, Creeping Cinquefoil (AKA Strawberry Weed, but there's now a problem Googling that name due to being the same name for a strain of Cannabis).

                  But she forgot to include for the walk back.

                  Another chance to see the wild flowers (and other stuff) at Tamarisk Farm's Open Day on Sunday 7th August 2016 ... 10.30am - 4pm http://www.tamariskfarm.co.uk/farm/ But another event I'll miss due to committing myself to take our daughter to work at a local NT property.
