Our rocky cliff shorelines are stunning for not only their geography but also for the many fragile beauties that thrive in these harsh places. While many sites are being gradually eroded or over-grown by weedy invasive plants, some delicate wildflowers persist and these brightly-coloured mats of flower are a dazzling spring display. Perhaps not as widespread or as noticeably impressive as Hornby Island’s rock-cliffs, our few rocky shorelines are gorgeous none-the-less.
Some of the first out so far:
(Also seen coming out recently were the lovely western saxifrage Saxifraga occidentalis )
