I located this plant some twelve years ago on the local marshes but hadn't visited the site since. The drainage ditch in which it grows had been "improved" by the farmer who had created vertical side one metre high. It was very difficult to get anywhere near these plants but using the zoom and dropping down the bank as far as I dared, I did get one or two just about acceptable shots. Many plants have disappeared from theses marshes since the Manchester Ship Canal Company created new lagoons in which to deposit the dredgings from the canal but these particular plants have increased in number.
