Great color on that dragonfly. So are the plants in the pictures considered bog plants

They appear to be growing in a marshy area.

Hi Bill
The Hippuris vulgaris is a common aquatic plant but the Equisetum is also growing on fields.
A common weed in the northern hemisphere!

I think a real bog is too acidly for these plants.
They prefer water and marshy-ground but not an acidly bog
