J2458 : Great reedmace, Hillsborough

near to Hillsborough and Ravennet, Ireland

Great reedmace, Hillsborough
Great reedmace, Hillsborough
Great reedmace growing beside the lake in Hillsborough forest.
To quote from another source “due to graphic mistake (or possibly even a deliberate error on his part) made by the Victorian artist Sir Lawrence Alma-Tadema, who famously painted "Moses in the Bulrushes" with the child's cradle depicted amongst reedmace instead of amongst clumps of the far less spectacular-looking bulrush, several subsequent generations of children have grown up believing that the reedmace is actually called the bulrush and is a myth that perpetuates to this day....”.
This misunderstanding is sometimes evident in Royal Black Preceptory banners. See also J2458 : Great reedmace, Hillsborough (2).
