    No it's to flat and pointy for my liking, if that makes sense:scratch::heehee: maybe an Iris? actually that's quite likely being close to the waters edge... maybe Yellow Flag?

        I'd definitely say Yellow Flag Iris, I planted plenty of them when I managed a fishing lake in Cheshire; they look like newly planted young plants :thumb:

            Thanks everyone. Will try and get a pic of it flowering next year. It says on wiki that it cleans the water of nearby lakes and stuff
