De bloem heet zwanenbloem omdat de stampers een vorm hebben die sterk lijkt op sierlijke zwaantjes.

 

De zes stampers hebben aan de voet nectarklieren.

De stengels van de plant bevatten overlangse luchtkanalen om de wortels van zuurstof te voorzien en zijn onderaan driehoekig van vorm, waardoor de planten stevig in het water staan.

Ze is wettelijk beschermd

 

De zwanenbloem is voortgekomen uit het verdriet van de allermooiste nimf uit de Griekse mythologie, Galatea.

Seen here perching on a Flowering Rush (Butomus umbellatus) waiting for passing females to fly by. The female of this species can lay about 10 eggs per minute for up to 45 minutes and will often submerge her self when laying her eggs into a wide variety of emerging and floating plants. With an adult length off 45mm the Banded and Beautiful Demoiselle are the UK's largest species of Damselflies. A stunning looking species of damselfly that can be seen on the wing from May to September along slow flowing rivers and streams in the UK but rare in northern England and absent from Scotland.

The gardens of Arcen Castle are always a delight to visit. There's much to see for all tastes: formal rose gardens, colorful exhibitions, rambling woods, manicured lawns and many ponds. On the edge of those ponds now many Flowering Rushes, in Dutch called Swanflowers because the pistils are said to resemble those sitting birds. Here a visitor is Macropis europaea, Yellow-loosestrife Bee, lookin for pollen. Just look at the half-open stamen!

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!

There was a large patch of these spectacularly beautiful aquatic plants in one of the ponds in Chester Zoo Nature Reserve.

 

Despite spending a lot of time angling on many water bodies around the country I've never seen them before.

Reeds designate a biotope and a plant community in the shallow water and bank edge area of bodies of water. It consists of tall, reed-like plants (reed plants) such as common reeds (Phragmites australis), bulrushes (Typha spec.), porcupines (Sparganium spec.), canary grass (Phalaris arundinacea) and water swaths (Glyceria maxima); also from calamus (Acorus calamus), flag iris (Iris pseudacorus), swan flower (Butomus umbellatus), frog spoon (Alisma spec.) and other species.

On the coast of the Protva river in Kaluga oblast

Already in Classical Antiquity this pretty flowering plant was notorious for its sharp leaves. Hence the name 'Butomus', something like 'Ox-cutter' in English; it would not do as animal fodder. But insects remain uncut. Here along a ditch the summer-flowering blossoms is being visited by a Fly and a Hoverfly.
