Field Notes

Description:

The plant looks kind of scraggly until you take a closer look. The flowers are really quite delicate and the leaves have a soft, succulent look

Habitat:

Rocky bank near the mouth of the river. It was a couple hundred meters from where the ocean meets the river, but the tide washes in the salt water pretty far
