I found a lot of pipeworts (Eriocaulon aquaticum) blooming together around an island and decided they looked like a miniature forest, in a way. Or like mini truffula trees from Dr. Seuss' The Lorax
They have rather sturdy-looking basal leaves under the water, like a tight cluster of grass, from which the tall stems arise. I really like the effect on the water that the stems breaking the surface tension make - mini spirals at the interface of the two. Beautiful!
