These slightly tatty daisy-like flowers grow along the marshy seashore here in Moyard in Connemara. They don’t seem to mind being being submerged at high tide. I have read that the leaves are edible and very tasty, somewhat similar to the better-known samphire. The internet abounds with recipes for sea aster leaves, but it seems that they are best simply pan-fried for a short time. I plan to give them a try soon,
