I noticed these nice cloud patterns over our patio pond this week. The rush spikes still have their seed heads. Hold on though- one of them looks a little strange.
Another Cross Spider! They are everywhere. This is just above the spot that was in my last post where a Cross Spider didn’t fare too well.
This rush plant towers over the patio pond. I sometimes forget whether it is a rush or a sedge. Plants of the Pacific Northwest Coast by Jim Pojar and Andy MacKinnon offers a semi-rhyme to keep them straight:
Sedges have edges and rushes are round.
Not the catchiest one I’ve ever heard, but it will probably help me to keep them straight!
Cute jingle to help us remember the difference between a rush and a sedge.

I love the rhyme! That is helpful. That’s quite the fat-bodied spider… seems like that rush should be bending under its weight!
Interesting Captures!!
