Flowering rush (Butomaceae)

Flowering rush

Flowering rush is characterized by its striking, star-shaped flowers and long, slender leaves that sprout from a base akin to a cluster. Thriving in aquatic and marshy environments, flowering rush uses its rhizome system to anchor itself in muddy substrates. This adaptation allows it to efficiently absorb nutrients and water, facilitating its lush, vibrant growth even in standing water.
