The beautiful flowers of the Bog Asphodel are now at their best and there are more of them to be seen than when I posted earlier (see 17th July post). Although the main colony of a few years ago has now been flooded and taken over by rushes there seem to be more flowers growing on the edge of the wettest area where conditions are more favourable. If the water level continues to rise then it's possible that these will be flooded in their turn of course but the chances are that the plants will survive in some form. It just seems that it was quite unnecessary to raise the water level in the first place and it could yet cause more problems.
