Description: Common bogbean (Menyanthes trifoliata), Bog beans family (Menyanthaceae). A small meadow near the Lily Lake, High Uintas, Utah. So far, this is a single location where I found this interesting plant. I was late this season again. Only three, difficult to reah flowers remained open. Need to come in mid-July next time. The small puddle of open water, where Menyanthes grows, is surrounded by the floating carpet of grasses and sedges, which was able to hold my weight, although at the end of the photo session my boots were thoroughly soaked. My first visit to this place was in mid-August two years ago and the plant was already deeply in fruits: www.flickr.com/photos/zharkikh/15043140781. Date: 27 July 2016, 09:02.
