Hi
Seen on sand dunes in Rhosneigr but I can not not find it in my wild flower guide. Near some gardens so I suspect it may be a garden escape;

Any ideas?

Sea milkwort. The botanical name is Glaux maritima or Lysimachia
maritima depending on which botanist to listen to. (Glaux - and
Anagallis - has been found to be nested in Lysimachia, but the floras
haven't caught up, and it's possible that in the end Lysimachia will be
dismembered rather than Glaux and Anagallis sunk.)

When not flowering it's harder to distinguish from sea sandwort
(Honckenya peploides).
