Here's another beach/sand plant I'd love to know the i.d. for - the one with the white flowers. Of course, if someone knows the grass, too, I'd love to hear it.

It is Heliotropium curassavicum, if you can see a distinct yellow eye in the flower. If the flower does not have a yellow center, it is probably Heliotropium procumbens.

I thought I had a closeup of this; will have to take more pix to see what's what. Thanks!

These tiny tiny flowers do have a yellow center, not that you can see it in the picture.

As the flowers have a yellow center, the plant is definitely Heliotropium curassavicum.
