A splash of summer colour, Sea Pink (America maritima) growing in a rocky crevice on a slabby hill slope near the sea. It’s surrounded by some wonderful Lichens – A bright yellow Caloplaca, a little grey clump of Ramalina siliquosa on the far left and sheets of a light grey crustose lichen covering other areas. In stormy weather this will be lashed with salt spray, but on a calm sunny day it’s paradise.

Not a pretty one! This dwarf wind-battered little tree is an Aspen (Popula tremula). Its claim to fame is that it's the only tree on the island of Mingulay in the Outer Hebrides. I say "only tree", it's probably the only one - I don't think every inch of the huge seacliffs on that island will have been checked! #Mingulay #Hebrides #Scoland #PlantADay #Botany #Nature #Plant #Wildflower

A carpet of Sea Pink (Armeria maritima) on the awesone island of Mingulay in the outer Hebrides. The yellow stuff covering the rocks is a lichen, likely Xanthoria sp.
