Struggling to attract wildlife to your garden?

Acorus calamus, or sweet flag, might be the answer.

This perennial favorite thrives in wetland areas and boasts aromatic, sword-like leaves that not only create a vibrant atmosphere but also welcome beneficial creatures like frogs and dragonflies.

I called in the #Beaconsfield motorway services yesterday and went to the wildlife area. OK, it's a drainage balancing pond with some ducks, but they've done wonders with the vegetation around it, especially these Ox-eye Daisies. #PondPlants #WildflowerHour #Buckinghamshire #Bloomscrolling #botany #plants #flowers #wildflowers #plantscience #photography

Pond plants (but not in a pond): water lilies in the Castle Mill Stream at the Oxford Canal basin

For those who like to play along with #WildflowerHour the challenge set for this week is #PondPlants. That's because it's the weekend of #Pondwatch, which is a UK thing, but no reason not to join in if you're outside the UK. Pictures of dragonflies sat on whatever pond plants you photograph aren't mandatory!
