Flowering Rush

I am not a plant person, I can barely tell a daisy from a mum. This beautiful plant was growing on the the shoreline of Wehrspann Lake, south of Omaha. I posted this on Facebook, asking people to ID it, and according to a majority of the good people on Nebraska Through the Lens, this is a Flowering Rush, a species of Butomus. Also known as Grass Rush. Botanical name, Butomus umbellatus. A perennial, they say it's an herb!
