This stunning print captures the beauty of coastal plants thriving on the sand dunes at Braunton Burrows in Devon, UK. In the foreground, Marram grass stands tall and proud, its slender blades swaying gracefully in the ocean breeze.

Common ragwort also makes an appearance, showcasing its small yellow blooms amidst this botanical tapestry. These resilient plants have established themselves on these sandy shores, colonizing and flourishing in this unique ecological niche.
