Is it me or sand dunes one of the best places to see plants. I have seen loads of plants this year:
yellowwort 
white melilot 
ploughmans spikenard 
field gentian 
autumn gentian  
common storks bill 
blue fleabane 
fyfield pea 
Grass of Parnassus 
Bog Pimpernel 
agrimony 
yellow bartsia 
red bartsia 
marsh helleborine  
dune helleborine  
green flowered helleborine 
bee orchid 
Well that is my commemoration to one of the best habitats in Britain for plants!

Lovely images of some lovely flowers.
I'm a bit confused after looking at the photo info though, are you and jhewitt15 the same person? |

no - me and jhewitt15 are best mates - we take photos of the same plants because we go to places together - he said I can use his photos rather than upload ones of mine that are exactly the same  |

Yes I agree with you, its amazing what does grow in sand dunes! Where did you and your mate take the photos btw? As you have the dune helleborine Im guessing Lancs...Southport area? |
