Bog Asphodel

I found a few exceptional plants while exploring the swamps of ‘Hohes Venn’, the greatest National Park of Belgium.

Bog Asphodel with its star-like yellow flowers is a typical swamp plant, but has become rather rare nowadays and stands on the Red List of threatened species !

It was quite a hell of a job to photograph it in the middle of the swamp, but I got it !
