The background in the LHS photo has been removed to show the spacing on this sedge. Tawny sedge can be quite tall up to 60 or 70 cm and the distance between the fruiting spikelets and the terminal male spikelet makes it quite difficult to get the whole plant in a photo close-up. It prefers to grow in base rich boggy ground.
