This way, please
This is arrowhead (Sagittaria sagittifolia), pijlkruid in Dutch. It is a native plant in most of Europe.
The leaves seem to indicate where to go, but unfortunately they all point in different directions.
Olympus Stylus 1s, 300mm, ISO200, f5.6, 1/125s
"The round tuber is edible. It tastes bland, with a starchy texture, similar to a potato but somewhat crunchier, even when cooked." (Wikipedia)
It is also nice to look at.
didn't know you can eat it
It will keep you alive, but it is not very tasty on its own.
You tried it?
Yes.
@ocrdu - It is indeed a nice plant to look at. The narrow heart shape of the leaf is very nice. You have captured it at a great angle to contrast it against the water background. Thanks for sharing. Upvoted
