What plnat is this on grand Manan Island Canada???

[t kinsman]

This past July I was hiking along a huge cliff near Hole In The Wall on Grand Manan Island of the coast of New Brunswick - this was the only plant growing on - out of - the rock, I was amaized by its ability to grow under such adverse conditions, but I can not find out what it is -

Any help identifying this plant would be welcome.

See:

Maybe check out to see what type of grasses they plant at the beaches to combat erosion.

Did you see any blooms? I have a plant similar to this. It is a kind of 'torch lily' but not the big red-hot pokers. These are much smaller and the buds start out like your picture and then shoot up on a slender stem to open into a small clump of yellow flowers. I know I have the label around here somewhere. I'll see if I can find it. My plant has gotten huge, with quite a numbers of small plants hanging out of the pot. Epiphytic roots everywhere...

Do you have any other pictures of it?

Well, I found my plant label - it says "Torch Lily - Bulbine fruiticosa 'Hallmark'" but I found almost nothing doing a search. But I did find "Bulbine Frutescens" and this looks like my plant and I think like your plant...

area may be too cold for this plant though. It says it goes to 20 degrees but I find I have to grow it in pots and keep it in the garage in winter. Atlanta gets some pretty cold weather for the 'South', 15-20 degrees is becoming more normal here. I bought two plants and put one in the ground and the other in a pot. The potted one (wintered in the garage) is now huge and the one in the ground died.

Still - it may be some variety of this plant.

Be happy to send you some if you want.

It looks to be a type of sedge.
