yellow flowers coming, what is this? - 09/11/19 12:57 AM
The pond is in its 5th year after a rehab project. Very few if any aquatic plants, happy to see this bush with yellow flowers on the bank in an area where roots probably stay wet. I have 3 bushy clusters on the south bank. Came up by themselves. They look nice and if you all agree, I'd like to try to keep them and hope they make it through the winter despite being cut down by the ice and come up no their own in the spring again.
Looking at this again I can see in the first picture that there are some dark green vertical stalks with no branches or flowers. Those are a left over underwater rush or sedge that this new plant seemed to grow out of. You can see the other stalks of the rush better in the 3rd picture. Somehow these busy plants with yellow flowers came up right in the middle of this cluster of 'rush' or reed like stems.
