Rare flower found on Benbulben 👏👏👏
During our scheduled bank holiday Monday hike the rare Fringed Sandwort flower which has been proven to pre date the ice age was found
The main flowering season has just ended but evidence was still to be seen
This plant is found no where else in Ireland, the uk or even in southern Europe. A special thanks to the keen eyed member of the group who found the plant in a rocky crevice close to the summit.
The weather turned out amazing after the yellow rain warning which was due to expire at midday cleared much quicker than expected
Superb visibility. We could even see Croagh Patrick in the distance
A very memorable day
Thanks to all who joined in on the adventure.
