I've been accused of having everything in my yard except the kitchen sink. Well, no more! I now have the kitchen sink too.I plugged the drain puka (hole) and used our old kitchen sink as a planter for kaluh, an indigenous sedge (Schoenoplectiella juncoides). The algae is the result of adding greensand. So, don't add greensand. (The tacky-looking ply boards in the background are the neighbor's "fence." But it fits with the theme.)

However, in other parts of the world the seeds were used as a food source and the leaves were used in making baskets, mats, sandals, and clothing.EtymologyBolboschoenus is from the Greek bolbos, swelling or bulb, and schoinos, rush in reference to the ligneous (woody) tubers at the culm (aerial part of the plant) bases.The specific epithet martinus, growing by the sea, is in reference to its brackish-freshwater habitat.NPH00009

Sept. 27, 2012, Silver Lake, Brighton, Utah, approx. 8,720 ft. elev.The lush plant growth in these calm, shallow lake waters consists of a number of things but here primarily is Carex utriculata (Northwest Territory Sedge, and Beaded - not Beaked - sedge are some of its common names). C. utriculata has historically been treated by some authors within C. rostrata (Beaked sedge) but these are now somewhat more recently considered to be separate species and following those treatments, C. rostratra does not occur in Utah.
