Danish scurvy grass is a tiny, inconspicuous spring flowering plant. Despite the name, it is native to Britain. But until recent decades it only grew in a few sea-splashed areas, because it is a halophile, or salt-loving plant.
Since the 1960s it has spread along roads which are regularly gritted in winter, its seeds carried by the slipstream of passing traffic. It is usually found now where there are grassy verges close enough to get splashed by the surface water from main roads. These were at a safer viewing spot on the edge of the village green at Seisdon.
Towards the end of February, the flowers were just beginning to open.
