Thank you, John. The bushes on the photos below were quite different from the ones I see on the beach here, which people have told me are called Σμυρναίικο αλμυρίκι (which is T. smyrnensis), the colour of the flowers of the latter are more dusty pink, but they are in bloom in the spring at the same time as T. parviflora here, I have never seen flowers in the autumn on any of them.
