| | | Flower for ID
These flowers were growing at the foot of the cliffs at Lulworth cove. I feel I should know the ID but am afraid I cannot recall it. The flower has a pedestal for insects to land on and opens to reveal the stamen etc when this happens. 
Thanks

Seen in the same location as the Common Restharrow (Bottom of the cliffs at Lulworth Cove). 
Thanks.

These were on Portsdown hill, about 300' above sea level and on chalky downs. Is this still OK for the Sea Aster?

I cant be certain but think it is because it appears to be hairless and the leaves look smooth in outline. | | | |
