Plants that love water, but do not know how to get it in all possible ways, simply choose humid places for their residence
Sundew
Low herbaceous plant
Sundew barely reaches 30 cm in height. And its flowers cannot boast of brightness and large sizes. But the leaves of the Rosyanka are a unique product of nature. They are able to get their food from insects, which are attracted by shiny, sticky droplets on the long hairs that cover the leaves.
Captivated by the shine of the plant's "dew", insects are captured by sticky hairs, and then digested by a leaf of the Rosyanka folded in half.
Such a plant will not only decorate a humid place of a summer cottage, but also save vacationers as much as possible from annoying mosquitoes, flies and midges that spoil summer vacations.
Although in the wild, Rosyanka chooses swampy or sandy places for living, it is unpretentious to soils, since it feeds not on nutrients from the earth, but digesting insects caught by cunning with the help of special juice.
Chastukha
From a thick, but very short rhizome, a rosette of leaves on long petioles emerges to the surface of the earth, outwardly similar to the leaves of an unpretentious Plantain.
But Plantain grows along roads, in meadows, in steppes, and
Chastukha chooses swamps for itself, or even grows right in the reservoir, for which the people call her "Water plantain".
Chastukha rises in height from 10 cm to 1 meter, releasing a peduncle with pale pink or white flowers from a rosette of leaves. The inflorescence of the plant looks like a children's pyramid, made of paniculate floors. The diameter of the flower of their three petals reaches 1 cm.
Being a very unpretentious plant, Chastukha is popular with gardeners when it is necessary to decorate the shores of a reservoir that does not have enough time to care for.
Marsh calla
The thick creeping rhizome of the plant easily makes its way in swampy places, swamps (or floats), when land, with the help of vegetation, conquers the territories of calm reservoirs.
The thick carpets of the Callaidae of large oval-heart-shaped leaves, directing their pointed tips towards the sky, are companions of Black Alder, which also loves humid places and low-lying swamps (excluding sphagnum bogs), rich in mineral components.
Decorativeness
Marsh calla makes it attractive for decorating summer cottages. Moreover, the plant will be equally comfortable both on the shore of the reservoir and partially in the water.
Just do not forget that all parts of the plant contain toxic substances. Its bright red berries are especially rich in poison. In small quantities, the poisons of the plant turn into healers used by traditional healers.
Swimsuit
The very name of the plant implies its love for wet places. At the beginning of summer, it covers
Swimsuit wet meadows and glades with a solid carpet of yellow or bright orange.
Delicate petals form miniature roses, from which you don't want to take your eyes off. So I would admire the amazing beauty all day long. The splendor of the flowers is supported by the highly dissected leaves, skillfully carved by nature. It seems that the same sculptor has worked on the leaves, who gives in winter an elegant ligature of snowflakes.
But you should not pluck this beauty in order to try to sharpen it in crystal vases. Flowers torn off from the roots quickly lose their shape, sadly drooping.
And in the wild, flowers adorn the Earth with their bright charm for a short time, giving way to other plants that are also eager to decorate the world with their presence on the planet.
Many gardeners who want to support plants that are massively destroyed by negligent people plant them in their gardens, doing two good things at once: they continue the life of such plants and enjoy their beauty in their own garden.

Herbs For Wet Areas
Herbs give any flower garden lightness, a feeling of tenderness and weightlessness. They also have the ability to cover up very damp areas of the summer cottage and decorate water bodies. You don't have to go to overseas countries for herbs. Look around you, and your eyes will surely find grass that can decorate your garden. Wander around the cottage in search of atypical cereals and sedges. You may be the first person to turn a nondescript blade of grass into a popular ornamental grass
Mobile Places And Leisure Accessories
Stationary recreation areas are sometimes not very convenient. Often there is a desire to retire in the shade or sit in the sun. For such cases, there are mobile resting places. They can be combined from different things and used in any corner of the garden. Let's talk about how to get cozy under a spreading tree or scanty lawn and what accessories can be used for comfort
Herbs For Moderately Damp Places
Herbs for moderately humid places are distinguished by their unpretentiousness and great endurance. They live for many years, growing in width and height, being excellent helpers for the gardener-gardener for turfing damp and shaded areas of the summer cottage. Herbs are more resistant to diseases and pests. Many of them are used in winter bouquets in conjunction with decorative dried flowers
What To Grow On Wet Clay?
A summer cottage, most of which consists of wet clay, often leads summer residents to the most real despair, because you really want to plant fruit trees and beautiful shrubs, break a pretty flower garden and grow an excellent harvest of vegetables! However, there is nothing unrealistic about this, the main thing is to understand what exactly can grow on such a site
Flowering Plants In Humid Places
There are so many plants with brightly colored flowers growing near water bodies that I would have admired the richness of herbs all day if they had not waited for vegetable beds in the garden, and annoying insect pests that do not give the gardener a break
