Fireflag has huge leaves, delicate purple flowers, and is found in our wetlands.

Fireflag provides cover as well as food for our wetland birds.
    This Purple Gallinule is perched on the slender flower stalk snacking on the flowers. It's fun to watch them reach the end of the stalk and flap their wings as it bends under their weight.
    I've seen Common Moorhens and Green Herons nest in the cover of the Fireflag plants.
    These two Least Bitterns fly in and out of the Fireflag a lot, and I saw a chick nearby recently, so I'm guessing that they're nesting in there too, but they're much more secretive birds and tend to stay mostly out of sight.
