Beautiful, delicate flower that grows by the sea, and needs salted water to grow even more then soil which is very poor here on this rocky shore. I had hard time choosing a photo to show the flower, the habitat and surrounding in the same image, and then the bee came into the picture which made it even harder to choose. I am wondering if the honey they make has a salty taste to it. I don't think so, but it was interesting to see how many bees come to flowers bound with sea weed, and salt crystals just feet from a sea. In high tide the flowers end up in the sea, but I don't have a good photo to show it, so you will have to trust me. This is a small collection of photos I gathered on my morning walks this year. I wish to get a macro lens for the next year. I hope you enjoy this little collage of pure untouched nature... Bit of rocks and water, bit of flowers and bees...
