Question
This was (I think) in somebody's garden, in Granby, CT, 41.92772,-72.82237 . Is it a kind of sedge? Are those flowers in the close-up? I hope I haven't worn out my welcome on Go Botany! I try to identify plants on my own before I send a question to you.
Answer
Dear Davidreik@comcast.net, you haven't worn out your welcome at all. Please, keep posting questions as it helps other people as well. Your plant is likely Carex lupulina (hop sedge). It has the very large inflated perigynia that you have photographed. This species is typical of shorelines and wetlands (mostly). Best wishes.
