Seeing the Changes 1115













A few of the plants from the dunes around St-Trojan-les-Bains (Ile d'Oleron, France). There was lots of Harestail grass (Ligurus ovalus) and big Maritime pines (Pinus pinaster) shaded the area. Flowers included Viper's bugloss (Echnium vulgare); Sea stock (Matthiola sinuata); Slender knapweed (Centaurea debeauxii); Sea holly (Eryngium maritimum); Sea spurge (Euphorbia paralias); White campion (Silene alba); Chichory (Cichorium intybus); Small-flowered evening primrose (Oenothera salicifolia) and Oxford ragwort (Senecio squalidus).
