I spotted these Sea Daffodils (Pancratium maritimum L.) growing in the dunes beside the boardwalk entrance to Praia de Monte Clerigo. Thankfully, they are away from the footfall traffic, so providing they are left to grow in peace, the seed bulbs should fully develop, and they will reproduce.

Do you enjoy photographing wildflowers, bugs, birds, snakes, and other curiosities in the wild?
I decided to revisit the meme I created ‘Wild Wednesday”, where I share a photograph of wild flora or fauna in my local Parque Natural do Sudoeste Alentejano e Costa Vicentina area. Why not join me, share your photo on your blog, and leave a link in the comments below?

It only grows in the sand or sandy soil in coastal areas. I have never seen it on my roadside walks.
