I've seen U.praelonga various times in nature and it invariably
grows among tall grasses (even over 1m in height) in bogs. Sometimes
they grow in mushy, soggy, decaying organic matter and sometimes
they're found in humid sandy soil. The leaves are very thin and long and
the large flowers are a beautiful bright-yellow.

You forget about the new people coming in all the time! I've been
here for less than 2 weeks and am immensely glad I read this!!
