These were also saved from the damages of the Phragmites overgrowth. This is Iris sanguinea from the eastern-most portions of east Asia.

This is cool. All these little straw colored spheres are aphids that have been parasitized by a wasp.

This little miracle is an onion, obviously, but not just any onion. This onion was nearly lost to the aggressive growth of its neighbor, the phragmites. It took 3 years to recover to blooming capacity.
