there are a number of native and non-native plants in bloom along
the beach access by Peter-By-The-Sea at Cape May Point.
Rosa rugosa, also known as the "beach rose"
is a very hardy, salt tolerant plant and is readily seen along the coast. It is native to eastern Asia and has been cultivated there for a thousand years and because of its sweet delicate fragrance,
is often used in potpourri.
I have not been able to identify the next 2 flowers pictured below and have used the
Native Plant List of NJ: http://www.npsnj.org/index.html
and the Flora of NJ Project: http://www.njflora.org/
