Yellow Flags of the Boggy Brae

I put three wild yellow flag plants (Iris pseudacorus) into one of the boggiest parts of the Boggy Brae in 2007. This was them flowering, having taken good hold in their new situation, in May 2008. The pic below shows what the little patch of dead leaves looked like in winter.

Since then the flags have flourished on their boggy brae (and the patch gets ever larger) among the Meadow Buttercups. The photo to the right was taken in June 2015. At one point I counted over 50 yellow flag flowers plus many buds.

This morning I took this shot of the winter patch.

The pamapas grass beyond has also been flourishing but I take steps to keep it in check!




Just for fun, have a little more boggy summer meadow!
