11: PENDULOUS SEDGE

In April the Pendulous sedge was in flower.


These are the male flowers full of pollen.


 The seemingly modest female flowersare easy to miss, hanging quietly behind the puffed-up males.


But now in early June the withered male flowers are still at the end of the long arching stem that has grown, but it is the dangling female catkins, now prominent, that show why this sedge is called pendulous.
