Bogs Herbaceous Perennial
A perennial wildflower, spreading through rhizomes, and common in suitable habitats in the north and west of Britain, and in Ireland. The leaves form a flattened tuft, like a miniature iris, with a spike of rich yellow, star-shaped flowers in summer - a good source of pollen for bees. Red seed capsules follow, and the whole plant turns dark orange in autumn
