Pendulous sedge


Flowers of the Pendulous Sedge (Carex pendula).  Only the top 'catkin' is male and shrivels first.


Like all sedges the stem is triangular in section.  You can feel it in your fingers; and the long strap-like leaves .. .. ..


.. .. .. are like an inverted 'W' or a seagull's wings, in section.

Pendulous sedge likes shady, damp woodlands.
