🌸🌼🪻 Baltrum has many flowers for you!

(1) Dune pansy (Viola tricolor maritima)
🌿 A maritime form of the wild pansy growing in sandy soils near the sea. I think it's the most beautiful of all the island flowers!

(2) Mouse-ear hawkweed (Hieracium pilosella)
🌿 A creeping perennial, frequent in dry grassland and sandy soils.

(3) Sea rocket (Cakile maritima)
🌿 A salt-tolerant plant of sandy beaches and dunes. A pioneer plant important in dune formation. I saw many, but only one was blooming.

(4) Narrowleaf trefoil (Lotus tenuis)
🌿 A low-growing legume with slender leaves and small yellow flowers, thriving on dry or sandy soils, including coastal grasslands.

🌿 A coastal biennial with large yellow flowers that open in the evening, adapted to sandy dune habitats.

(6) Small bugloss (Anchusa arvensis)
🌿 A bristly annual with small bright blue flowers, typically found on sandy or disturbed ground.

🌿 A succulent coastal plant with fleshy leaves and pinkish-purple sepals, adapted to salty shorelines and salt marshes.

(8) Sea thrift (Armeria maritima)
🌿 A hardy coastal perennial, often found in the salt marshes.

(9) Ragged-robin (Silene flos-cuculi)
🌿 A delicate wildflower of damp meadows, with deeply cut pink petals that give it a ragged, star-like appearance.

(11) Honeysuckle (Lonicera periclymenum)
🌿 A fragrant climbing shrub often found in hedgerows and woodland edges.

(12) Yellow flag (Iris pseudacorus)
🌿 A large wetland iris with bright yellow flowers, common in marshes and along water edges.

(13) Cow parsley (Anthriscus sylvestris)
🌿 A tall, airy umbellifer with delicate white flower clusters.

(14) Lilac (Syringa species)
🌿 There are many cultivated and hybrid forms of lilac. This one smelled really good!

📖🔍 I was able to identify the species based on its appearance, habitat and the species list of the East Frisian Islands (Niedringhaus, Haeseler, Janiesch).
