Golden Samphire

Golden Samphire
Spotted on the mudflats in Hayling Island.

The young shoots, leaves and flower buds of the Golden Samphire are edible and are often used in salads. Throughout Europe, it used to be pickled or cooked, most often used as a relish.

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.

Thanks very much Eunice. I had to look it up to find out they were edible, but I'm not sure I'd try it.
