Seeing the Changes 989












Lots of stuff about in Llangennith near the surf. In bloom, was Lady's bedstraw (Gallium verum); Ses spurge (Euphorbia paralias); Sea bindweed (Calystegia soldanella); Sea holly (Eryngium martimum); Sea stock (Matthiola sinuata); Rest harrow (Ononis repens); Pyramidal orchid (Anacamptis pyramidalis); Stone bramble (Rubus saxatilis) and Bloody cranesbill (Geranium sanguineum).
