Argusia (Argusia argentea)

Flowers of a tree growing in sand overhanging the high tide.
Though its base probably doesn’t go under water, this tree’s roots must surely be directly exposed to salt.
(Family: Boraginaceae)


other sizes: small medium original auto

The lushness of the leaves, stems, and blossoms show this tree requires lots of water; nice image!

The plant and flower look sturdy and strong (and beautiful) - maybe to protect the land from encroaching tide?
