A plant of the shingle, this appears to be increasing in numbers at Pensarn beach Abergele since the sea wall was built some time ago. It has large yellow poppy like flowers, very long seed pods and a beautiful glaucous rosette of leaves when not in flower so can't be mistaken. It isn't a national rarity but it deserves to be one.
