Beautiful flowers on coastal path

Beautiful flowers on the coastal path . There are are long stretches  of clff path with  beautiful cushion  displays of bright pink flowers bringing a splash of colour against the backdrop of the sea . Also known as “sea pinks” or “cliff clover” they flower from April to July. Thrift also makes a great garden plant for well drained and sandy soils and is great nectar for  bees and other insects.  If you are of a certain generation, you may remember the old “thrupenny bit” featured the flower of Thrift  until the decimal system took over in the 1970’s.
