B. Are water-loving plants present?
Sedge or "Wet" Meadows

These wetlands may have saturated soils, rather than standing water, more often than not and can be dry in the summer months. Sedges, grasses and reeds are dominant, but look also for blue flag iris, marsh milkweed, sneezeweed, mint and several species of goldenrod and aster. This photo shows new england asters (purple flower) and giant goldenrod (yellow flower).
