Hey Guest, Early bird pricing on the Summer Moot (29th July - 10th August) available until April 6th, we'd love you to come. PLEASE CLICK HERE to early bird price and get more information.
the first one was a pretty flower and I just wondered what it was. The second looked to me to have potential as food, kinda plantain like. Both are situated "coastal" and found on sand dune.
First one looks like Evening primrose, second one looks like Sea beet. If I am right (please check before trusting me!) then the first one is not worth bothering with, the second one is delicious.
Cut off the midrib and stems, then steam the leaves for a short while until cooked. Serve with a mixture of soy sauce and oyster sauce to flavour.
I think the first one looks like Evening Primrose too....Oenothera biennis (iirc)
It's edible from the flowers to the roots.
I eat the flowers in salads and the young seed pods (tiny little oil rich seeds) are quite good lightly steamed. The seeds can be used like sesames.
Haven't tried digging mine up to try the roots yet.

I stand corrected on that then - I was told to be careful as it's used for medicinal purposes as well and can't be too sure what large concentrations of the chemicals it makes would do. But if you've been eating them, then I expect they're fine
