Compact Rush (Juncus conglomeratus) plants growing in one of the moorland pools on Broadlee-Bank Tor below Grindslow Knoll.
Most visitors quickly bypass rushes and grasses in the Hortus. But insects are less picky. For example, you'll see Hoverflies if you're patient, and I saw this pretty Seven-spot Ladybird. Here it's on Soft Rush; the Latin word 'Juncus' indicates that this rush was once used for (basket) weaving. Ladybirds like hunting for Aphids, but that may be in vain here. I for one haven't seen any on this Rush. Ladybirds are said to be harbingers of good luck... Perhaps also for its hunting here.

REF:
The stems of Juncus were hanging over the water from the banks of the pond, and the partial, thin ice layer, was freezing around them, where they dipped into the water.
I had thought this colorful, shimmering architectural plant, which I believe is native to the San Francisco Bay Area, was Pacific Reedgrass, Calamagrostis nutkaensis. But on reflection I think it is a kind of Juncus, which had a reedier stem. If anyone knows, please share. Seen at Blake Garden, Berkeley.

One of the very few places in Finland where this plant grows. Arrived with imports of Russian timber.
I think this is Juncus acutus subsp. leopoldii, Giant Spiny Rush, shown at an extremely high tide (~6.4 ft.) at the edge of Morro Bay,

Standing on the edge of the Cottonball Basin salt flat, we watch the rising sun illuminate the Panamint Mountains as the moon sets. The hardy, salt tolerant vegetation in front of us includes saltgrass (Distichlis spicata) and clumps of Cooper’s reed (Juncus cooperi).

Baltic Rush, Juncus balticus, merivihvilä, dried plants sticking out, almost entirely snowcovered.
Many thanks for explore.
This plant is Juncus australis or Austral Rush. It is a
tough reed, which grows in clumps in boggy conditions. Here it grows beside the lake where the tidal water gives it a good soaking regularly. In the warmer months it gets "not very attractive" brown flowers at the top of the spikes.The spikes are about 60cm long, cylindrical and taper to a point.
