Atriplex semibaccata flowers
Common names: Berry saltbush, creeping saltbush
A prostrate plant growing in land often classed as wasteland. It is not a weed. We found it growing along the banks of the Avon River in York. Other plants growing there included Frankenia, Heliotrope and other saltbush plants.
The plants were growing on the banks of the Avon River in York and attracted insects that were feeding on the tiny flowers of the plant.
I like the little red berries that look like a pixie cap.
