Look at THIS little pretty that grows between my house and the harbor!!! She's in bloom! My sister, a botanist, was visiting last summer and boy, oh, boy, did she get excited when she saw this Juncus arcticus!
It's tons of fun when she comes to stay because she brings all of her paraphenalia and takes over my house. I have grasses and junci and rushes hanging all over my house that she has labeled with brightly colored sticky-note tabs in the hopes that I would eventually learn them all! They make great decorations, and are certainly conversation pieces when someone comes to visit.
I am excited because it is a pioneer species! And, it is beautiful!
