Down by the Swamp
Brookfield, Massachusetts.
Typha. Cattails.
Typha are aquatic or semi-aquatic, rhizomatous, herbaceous perennial plants.
Typha are often among the first wetland plants to colonize areas of newly exposed wet mud, with their abundant wind-dispersed seeds. Buried seeds can survive in the soil for long periods of time.[7] They germinate best with sunlight and fluctuating temperatures, which is typical of many wetland plants that regenerate on mud flats.[8] The plants also spread by rhizomes, forming large, interconnected stands.
