I had some sheets of paper with me, which I placed on a nearby rock and proceeded to take photographs of my collected plants with my camera phone. Some were already dried out, other had thick meaty leaves, and most had waxy surfaces, all of which showed an incredible ability to adapt to their given environment. These plants live in extremely salty conditions, underneath the scorching sun and exposed to extreme winds. They accumulate moisture in succulent leaves, which help them weather times of drought, the wax protects them from losing too much water from their leaves, and some have developed needles or thorns.Through this series, I once again marvel at the miracle of evolution and beauty of mother nature, at the eternal battles for survival and the wonderful diversity of the world of plants. I look forward to my next visit to the sea, and in the meantime dedicate this salty herbarium to all halophytes.
