Couple of Beach plants...

Was with the college and spotted these two plants on the bottom of the cliffs does anyone know what they could be? i think the first one (white flowered one) is maybe Cakile maritima or Alyssum alyssoides and the second one reminds me some what of a Trefoil but thats about it:rolleyes:

Anyone? because I'm confuzzled :D

 

:confused::DAint got a clue im afraid

 

The white one I think could be Sea Kale. not sure about the other one. I have seen them both on south coast beaches.

 

I kinda agree with sea kale but what bugs me is that the sea kale on Google images tends to be of completely different leaf shape and generally has more flowers?:confused:

 

Kalmia, I agree it is a poor looking specimen of sea kale but I still believe that is what it is.

 

OK thanks Morya :D, so does any one have any ideas on the pink flowered plant?

 

You Know that first one reminds me of an Iberis???

 

I dont think the first one is sea Kale, the one I have and the one that grows on Romney Marsh has flowers in large heads.
I see where your coming from with iberis, definitely looks like the cabbage family.

The pink one looks like it might make a good garden plant, although I haven't a clue what it might be.

 

Pete, could you look at the ID I've put up ... could it be Sea Kale?

 

I will look LoL.

As for the pink one, no 2, I cant help thinking pea family.

Meanwhile this is what seakale looks like.

 

Could the first one be sea rocket?

The second - haven't got any idea.

 

I think you are right Katherina:gnthb:

 

Could the second one be a type if vetch?

 

Thanks!:gnthb:
