On http://davesgarden.com/guides/pf/go/76239/ I found an error. The error that I found is:
Juncus tenuis:
Height: 7" to 24" (it is doubtful that is ever more than 24")

Bloom Color: inconspicuous/none (the yellow-green or chartreuse is descriptive for the Cyperus species in the picture not for J. tenuis)

Juncus tenuis unlike many Cyperus species is NOT a noxious weed in most if not all situations. Even in the wild it is rarely seen in very dense groups.

It is less common as a permanant pond or marsh plant. It is most commonly found in moist woodland margins, grassy meadows with heavy soil especially those with vernal pools/seasonal marsh. Clay soil and compacted soils ie. along paths.

In garden likes heavy soils that do not dry out completely. When dry, goes dormant. Not likely to thrive well with permanant "wet feet".

PLEASE make the appropriate corrections as much of the original description was for the Cyperus species shown in the first picture.

The second picture is somewhat suspect as well since the leaves are a little longer than is typical for a plant in the conditions of this picture. This could be any of a number of different genus/species!

Thankyou,

A common site in boggy ,low lying areas. The strong stems make it difficult to cut with an ordinary weed whacker. It tends to stay in the wetter areas, so isn't really invasive.
