Flowering Baltic Rush

Feb 26, 2022 | Plants, Mosses & Lichens, Wildflowers

It’s amazing what you can catch on a macro lens!

Believe it or not, these are the “flowers” (or inflorescences) of Juncus balticus or Baltic rush. These are flowering around the first week of June and get pollinated via wind. The lens I used makes these inflorescences look larger than they actually are, which are only a few millimetres long.
