french northern coasts

[Yann]

The snow level in the french alps was so high this year i've postpone several trips to early July.
Patiently waiting i've revisted several areas in my region. The weather is warm and dry until mid-may and plants are now suffering from the lack of water.
Here's a small selection of what i found during these walks.


Honckenya peploides



Spergula marina



Halimione portulacoides



Limonium binervosum



Spergula media

[Yann]

Calystegia soldanella



Limonium vulgare



Bryonia cretica ssp dioïca



Drosera rotundifolia



Lycopodiella inundata

[Yann]

Logfia minima



Juncus tenuis



Dactylorhiza incarnata x fuschii

[Maggi Young]

Your travel restrictions are  benefiting us  in seeing your photos, Yann, thank you! Coastal areas can carry a more rich selection of plants than some  people realise, I think.

They host 70% of my region's flora. It's a mixture of very dry and wet soil, protected areas and super windy spots, so the diversity can explain the number of plants and insects.



Juncus gerardi



Scirpus maritimus compactus
