Description : I identified this this year, and I see it a lot, but my pictures don't seem to come out well (it's hard to get both the leaves and flowers in focus.

The marks on the leaves are also fainter earlier in the season, I think. I'm going to try to remember to look at the fringes on the sheaths, and see if some of the things I've been ignoring are actually the other smartweeds.
