Water Lobelia, Lobelia dortmanna, wildflower, flower, Connemara, Ireland, Galway, Britain, Irish, British,I came across this pretty little water flower growing in a lake in Roundstone Bog, one of Connemara’s wildest and most unspoiled habitats, with its network of rivers and lakes. I subsequently found it growing practically on my own doorstep, in Garraunbaun Lake in Moyard. The white flowers grow above the water on long stalks, while the leaves are under water.
