sweet flag




A small cluster of Sweet Flag Acorus americanus grows in a wet spot at the edge of the wild wild woods.  A cylindrical form protrudes from amidst the leaves, showing pale bumps today that will become the plant's flowers.  Mother Nature arranges them in a diamond pattern.  So subtle, you have to look closely to spot the few flower structures among the green and white sword-like leaves.
