I've been accused of having everything in my yard except the kitchen sink. Well, no more! I now have the kitchen sink too.I plugged the drain puka (hole) and used our old kitchen sink as a planter for kaluh, an indigenous sedge (Schoenoplectiella juncoides). The algae is the result of adding greensand. So, don't add greensand. (The tacky-looking ply boards in the background are the neighbor's "fence." But it fits with the theme.)

Sept. 27, 2012, Silver Lake, Brighton, Utah, approx. 8,720 ft. elev.The lush plant growth in these calm, shallow lake waters consists of a number of things but here primarily is Carex utriculata (Northwest Territory Sedge, and Beaded - not Beaked - sedge are some of its common names). C. utriculata has historically been treated by some authors within C. rostrata (Beaked sedge) but these are now somewhat more recently considered to be separate species and following those treatments, C. rostratra does not occur in Utah.

Byron's Bay was named for Captain George Anson Byron (1789-1868), a British naval officer, and the seventh Baron Byron, cousin of the poet George Gordon Byron. Admiral Byron came to the islands on the H. M. S. Blonde to bring to their final resting place the remains of Kamehameha II and his queen, Kammalu, who contracted and died of measles on a visit to Great Britain.
