I did post these 2 days ago, but for some reason, post seems to have disappeared.
This plant seemed to grow differently in two separate locations. Seen first amid rocks on shell beach (white sand) at Arisagh. It was in a dense clump with masses of the flower heads spreading out (like a bouquet). However on the grassy area above the beach it was growing individually and was quite tall. Had to use macro to see the details of each flower (tiny) but I think very beautiful. No smell, even when crushing a leaf.

Great pictures, especially the flower detail on the 1st. It strikes me that the flower's structures is almost an upside-down version of a Selfheal, certainly when the cup-like lowest (& middle) petal is considered - this would be at the top of the Prunella's (tenny tiny) flower. Plants never cease to amaze, keep the superb pictures coming they're (together with their ID) really interesting and I enjoy seeing them. Thanks.
