A delightful capture of this coastal uk perennial plant, It is attractive although I had no idea parts of it were edible,
Capturing the plants and colour in the foreground has given the image lovely depth,

Have a great week and happy shooting!

I thought you'd probably know the scientific name Isabel :-)). Thanks for letting me know. Thanks for the interesting link as well.

It's quite common around here as well, but for some reason this is the first time I've actually photographed any.
