Thanks RBF. I like the cotton grass alot myself. I like a big mass or singles in the water. This was dusk so a little flat in color.

I hadn't thought of that. A great use. One property near me has thousands. I'm sure I could lift a few......lol.

It is Nelke. I like it too. It always makes me pause even being as common as it is around here.

in one of my photos there is a whole meadow foll with it. There is only a single place around. Wildernesses just go back because of the plantages and the fertilizers they use. That is the reason, Arnica is rare. And wool-grass, too, or orchids.

We are lucky to have such little development pushing back the natural world here. I'll have to catch up on your photos, I'm falling behind quickly. :-)
