Plant of the Day
Saturday 7 July 2018

Common in bogs throughout the U.K., the fluffy, cotton-like flower and seed heads of Eriophorum angustifolium (cotton-grass, bog cotton). The white cotton-like seed-heads were once used as a feather substitute in pillows. Here the plants are thriving on the Isle of Tiree, Scotland.
