These plants are resilient to complete submersion on occasional high tides but regular submersion caused by higher sea levels may spell the end for this ecosystem

Fibonacci Spiral wild flower Bait diggers on the mudflatsThe Fibonacci series is a mathematical sequence consisting of each number being the sum of the previous two. So 1 1 2 3 5 8 13 and so on. This sequence relates to a spiral Im at the edge of my knowledge here, not being a mathematician. This spiral is found in many plant forms, including this one, which is a flat topped aeonium native to Tenerife, Aeonium tabuliforme. Mesmerising.
