Carex Identification

Posted by jeanne 6OH (My Page) on

I was weeding along my fenceline this spring and pulled out a Carex that had some variegated leaves on it. I seperated the variegated part out and potted it up. These pictures were taken when it bloomed a few weeks ago, does anybody recognize it?

I'm thinking that this is one of two larger Carexes that are common along our creek because the seedheads match, but it might be a garden cultivar washed down from someone else's garden. Any comments would be quite welcome.

Thanks in advance,
Jeanne

No idea here. It doesn't look uniformly variegated, ie; some of the blades are and some aren't. Possibly it's a mixed clump, or there's some reversion going on.

This has been identified as Carex blanda on another forum.
