Sea-lavender, Common sea-lavender, this tricky species confirmed by two expert botanists with Natural England. Common doesn't do it justice. It's a beauty. I have spent far longer lingering over the many images I took, cropping to show them to advantage, than I spent with my two friends on South Walney. I have spent a long while investigating glassworts, as I did when I was writing Cumbrian Contrasts. Walney and the Duddon Estuary continues to weave their magic.
