I saw Narcissus tazetta growing in a saltwater marsh on the shore of Crete, among big grass tufts. Also, in Chile there are Alstroemeria species that grow right down on beaches, in the salt spray, such as A. pelegrina and A. werdermannii. Zephyra compacta is a rare species that grows on beaches in Chile too. In the Mediterranean there are Muscari species found on beaches. I don't know how much saltwater gets to them, but several Rhodophiala species in Chile grow on stabilized ocean dunes. My talk "Bulbs in their habitats" includes a section on beaches and dunes.
