I always think thrift looks very pretty...I like the sort of papery look it has sometimes!

We used to get sea thrift growing on the cliff tops when I was young, but it has all gone now, so your shot brought a bit of nostalgia

@quietpurplehaze @busylady @valanne @elisasaeter @hillymay @gijsje @happypat @purplehaze12 @gamelee Thank you all for looking in & for your comments My first memory of thrift was also my childhood days at the seaside and always found it looking so tough but pretty -So one year I treated myself to a plant at a garden centre when I was on holiday & now I have separated this & have several clumps in the garden !! ----being thrifty with my thrift !!

@eniaral Laraine they are little rockery perennials and are called Thrift --The Sea thrift grow wild on sea side cliffs -this one was bought in a garden centre Last week I bought a white variety which I have not planted out yet !

[Beryl Lloyd]

@digitalrn Thanks Rick , they will thrive anywhere even where soil is poor or scarce like on cliff edges !
