On the tidal flats behind the mangroves, hardy succulents (samphire), grasses and sedges grow. Sea fennel, or Rock samphire, is an edible wild plant. The area around the lake is sparsely vegetated with samphire, saltbush and bluebush. The dominant habitats are mangrove swamps and samphire flats. Other names include "sea green bean", "sea pickle", and "marsh samphire". Dusty areas and gullies are dominated by the native samphire "Suaeda fruticosa". The taste resembles that of spinach and samphire. Magenta coloured samphire bushes flourish in the white sandbanks, and the sand dunes are terra-cotta-coloured. Rock and coastal environments produce numerous Mediterranean species such as samphire and sea cineraria. In addition, local saline deposits support alkali grass, wild barley, red samphire, and seablite. In July each year, the rock sea lavender blooms, along with rock samphire. This refers to the dangers involved in collecting rock samphire on sea cliffs. It is sometimes called rock samphire or seafennel. They are composed of species such as crithmum, elymus pycnanthus and golden samphire. All tracks performed by The Samphire Band, except where stated.
