Unidentified Flowers

[Granddadscott]

A visit to Spurn Point today.
Very windy and the tide was out, so not a lot to see.
Managed to get the following photo,s but not very good but will record if I can get them Identified.
I have tried but I now have headache from trying.























Sorry its a long list.
Cheers

I am not an expert but might 5 & 6 be Sea Bindweed.

10. looks like Cakile maritima, Sea Rocket.


EDIT Ooops, you beat me to it while I was chatting.

Blimey you lot are good and quick.

Tell me is it the fact that you actually know what they are as soon as you see the picture
or do you have some magical way of looking them up?
I have tried using the identify wildflowers online but it always comes up with plant not found..
If I reduce the options till it shows a result I end up with 300 or more to choose from.
It would be helpful if I could find a way to id them first by colour, petal No's and then by location maybe.
Any ideas would be appreciated.
Don't mind if its online, book, or multimedia software.

Thanks for the info anyway.

I looked at the shape of the leaves for number 10 and decided that rocket was a distinct possibility. I guessed Sea Rocket and the pictures online seemed to confirm this.

There is a book called Wild Flowers of Britain and Europe By Bob Press and bob Gibbons. I got this from local Garden centre For £3-99 should have been £9-99 great to carry with you when out and about for ID. Hope this is useful to you.

10. is Sea Rocket - Cakile maritima, I think the photo has just made the the normally lilac-coloured flowers look paler.

I suspect it is a combination of both. Some will instantly recognise all the plants from the photo's, others will maybe need look some of them up. A lot will depend on the amount of information shown, for in order to correctly ID some plants a particular feature of the plant maybe very important, and without it, it could be difficult.
But even the 'experts' have to open their reference books some of the time!
