Description

Another series from self-established plants derived from past deliberate plantings. This population thriving, though being steadily replaced by encroaching marram (Ammophila arenaria). Some plants seeding, the rest flowering, capitula sweetly scented, and in some plants the ray florets more highly coloured than usual.
