Other features: After flowering, its orange-brown fruit-capsules are a striking feature of any walk in boggy areas. In the winter the plant turns straw-brown and remains highly visible. Bottom three pictures show it through the seasons. Leaves all in one plane, in a sort of curved fan arrangement from the base. |
