The sedges flaunt their harvest
In every meadow nook
And asters by the brook-side
Make astors in the brook
  (these lines are from September by Helen Hunt Jackson.)

I am not positive I have these correctly identified.  I was reading this poem and had to look sedges to see what they are.  I clicked on images and scrolled down and the top one was included.  I think it is so pretty.

    These pictures are amazing; something I don't really see or notice anywhere. The first one is so pretty, and really looks like fall.

    Beautiful shots and poem too. I don't know about it being a sedge but it is beautiful. I remember a poem to describe different grasses and one part was "sedges have edges" meaning the shape of the stem---so who knows. Funny the things one remembers. Whatever the shot is beautiful. MB

    I especially like the "burst" effect of the first blossom. The second has great color and detail.

    Hey here it is--“Sedges have edges; rushes are round; grasses are hollow right up from the ground”.
    That old thinking cap works once in awhile. Haha MB
