Sparganium Emersum F. Splendens

Golden bur reed, scientifically known as Sparganium emersum f. splendens, is a striking aquatic plant native to wetland environments. It is characterized by its tall, erect stems and showy, golden-yellow inflorescences that stand out in the water. This plant thrives in shallow, still or slow-moving waters, often forming dense clusters along the edges of ponds and lakes. Its unique appearance makes it a popular choice for ornamental water gardens and ecological restoration projects. Despite its beauty, it can become invasive in certain regions if not managed properly.
