Eriophorum vaginatum

If you go over the moors on the M62 Motorway from Manchester to Yorkshire in July/August you might notice large patches of off-white all over Moss Moor to the South. This is cotton-grass flowering with thousands of plants. It loves peaty country like these moors and is an indication of soggy, acid country.
