 Happy Monday!  Today's image is one I took this summer of my Pickerel Rush in the Gazebo pond.  I loved the light on this that created the shadow of the flower on the leaf.

 My Pickerel Rush plant in the large pond did very well this year.  Every year it gets larger and produces more flowers.  I am quite happy about that.  This image shows off the leaves fairly well which can be quite long in some cases, about 10 inches or so.  This one was probably a good 6 or 7.  I liked how it framed the flower.

My Pickerel Rush pond plant has been doing really well and blooming a lot, well, until the Cattails all blew over onto it.  I trimmed them back so hopefully things will be good again.  I got this image before the Cattails pushed it down.  I loved the bit of bubbly bokeh behind it and of course Friday's Are Bokehlicious!

My large pond must have been a bit healthier last year than the first year I had it.  I never knew this plant was in it until it flowered last year.  I had been cleaning out a bunch of Cattails and that must have allowed it to flourish.  This is a Pickerel Rush bloom.  They are quite lovely I think.

This is a plant from my large pond that just flowered this year.  It is called a Pickerel Rush and it has had several stalks of these lovely purple flowers this year.  The plant was always there but did not flower, at least that I saw, last year.  A sign the pond is healthier?  Whatever, it has been lovely to see this year.  Glad I did not pull it out by accident.
