... and the one with Birnas plants
My plants being Pipewort
Eriocaulon aquaticum, a north American species curiously also found on Skye !! another inducement for attending the NG meet-up.
I went yesterday to an anonymous little loch at Luib, Skye, far away from the beaten track and with a tongue-twisting name, Loch nam Madadh Uisgue. This time I had a working battery in my little AW1 and could shoot the submerged rosettes on the loch floor. Heavy proliferations of algae obscured the view though, thus I collected a few samples and brought them back to our lodge for further studies.
I found the peculiar root structures to be another intriguing aspect of this enigmatic aquatic species. Strangely similar to earth worms, wouldn't you think?
