The Boardwalk runs along the coast from West Kirby to Hoylake. Officially called Hoylake Red Rocks Marsh, a Site of Special Scientific Interest, is located near my home. There are very different habitats within this site; salt marsh, fresh water marsh and sand dunes. I have studied, drawn and painted five of the plants that are typically found along the Boardwalk. Wirral Horsetail (Equisetum x meridionale) Only recently discovered, rare, though plentiful at Hoylake, a hybrid between Equisetum variegatum and Equisetum ramosissimum. It is found alongside the board walk path, edged by the pond and freshwater marsh, at the foot of the Royal Liverpool golf course dunes. It grows only in Wirral and Anglesey in the UK. Burnet Rose (Rosa pimpinellifolia) is found on the golf course and along the boardwalk path, along the edges of the freshwater pond and marsh. Also known as the Scottish rose. It has black rosehips and is immensely prickly. Sea Holly (Eryngium maritimum) is found on the sand dunes, particularly to the north of the site. It has a very short season, appearing in June, flowering in July and August. By September it has dried into prickly tawny brownness. Flag Iris (Iris pseudoacorus) is found in the freshwater pond and marsh. It flowers in Spring. Sea Radish (Raphanus maritima) is found all over the site, flowering from spring to Autumn. A plant found only in coastal regions. These are all available as Artist Quality Prints (giclee)
