Welcome to Wild Wednesday! WildWed1

Wild Wednesday is a new Blipfoto challenge hosted by Cailleach to fill the Wednesday challenge gap. Just post something 'wild' ... it could be scenery, water, animals ... perhaps something you're wild about, or maybe something that drives you wild! Later there might be specific weekly challenges, like wild flowers, or wild weather....but for now anything goes!  If you fancy joining in, please tag your blip WildWed1. 
 

There seems to be a growing trend on Instagram for hi-key minimalism, including some rather nice arty “botanical” shots, so I thought I’d have a go. In the end, this macro image won out though, and my hi-key effort turned out to be not that hi-key after all. That’s OK, I’ll filter the s**t out of it on Instagram. Also known as “Good Friday Grass”, Luzula campestris was a week late around these parts this year, needing the first warm weather on Good Friday to get it going. Or maybe, Easter was too early… Anyhow, here comes the botany bit. How do I know this 10cm plant nodding at me from my sodden lawn and giving me another excellent reason not to mow it is a rush? Because:

Sedges have edges and
Rushes are round and
Grasses have nodes
all the way to the ground.




Field Wood-rush – Luzula campestris.
