7-3 Marsh Hedge Nettle, Bouncing Bet, Sweet Scented Water Lily

 7-3

Marsh Hedge Nettle, a member of the mint family, favors low meadows, swamps and shores.


Bouncing Bet, AKA Soapwort, is common along roadsides and in waste places. The sap of this plant is used like soap and produces a very soap-like lather.


Quiet ponds are home to Sweet Scented Water Lily.
