Sally 1,484 Posted July 6, 2018 Once again I have to display my appalling lack of knowledge of flora. Someone suggested to me that this is alstibe, but I’m not sure it looks the same. Can anyone help? Common coastal wildflower. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
aphperspective 304 Posted July 6, 2018 The pink one at the front looks like Red Valerian, centranthus ruber, we have a lot around the Irish coast here in West Cork. I may be wrong its a bit blured. Andy. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
John Richmond 1,041 Posted July 6, 2018 Both Centranthus ruber. You've got the red and pink forms. There's also a white form. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Sally 1,484 Posted July 6, 2018 (edited) Many thanks indeed, I’ve got the white in another photo, too. Edited July 6, 2018 by Sally Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Starsphinx 437 Posted July 6, 2018 That stuff is as common as much around me as well - I had to google it a couple of weeks ago for shots I was putting on Flickr Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
spacecadet 3,318 Posted July 7, 2018 It's growing out of our patio. I may pull it up when it's done flowering. Could be a pic in it. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Janet 29 Posted July 12, 2018 Hi Geogphotos, Could be Sea lavender (Limonium vulgare), but I'm no expert Janet Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Starsphinx 437 Posted July 12, 2018 If it helps people my first stop for identifying wildflowers is http://www.npms.org.uk/sites/www.npms.org.uk/files/PDF/NPMS ID GUIDE_WEB_0.pdf It may not get you straight there but it often puts you in the rough ballpark area to do more detailed searches on google.
