Soft rush growing along the sewer line road on the west side of the Indreland Audubon Wetland Preserve, Bozeman, Gallatin County, Montana. Similar to baltic rush, Juncus balticus, with which it co-occurs, but with a strongly bunched growth habit (albeit rhizomatous) and thick soft green hollow stems. Like Juncus drummondii but with a predilection to lower elevation sites that are regularly disturbed and an inflorescence of usually many more than 4 flowers. This species does not produce leaf blades. Just a basal leaf sheath is present.

Buttonbushes doing great, Juncus effusus a little tall and floppy, maybe try something lower growing? Could be a spot for Packera aurea.

Ani’s challenge today was ‘Table arrangements’ inspired by the Year of the Snake. I think this work speaks for itself the ‘snake’ like line along the black container is Celosia, which has a very velvety tactile appearance. Ani made the fine loops from the new shoots of a Golden Rod Palm and the other greenish curly piece is Corkscrew Rush (Juncus effusus cv. Spiralis). This arrangement looked stunning from all angles.
