Die Suche nach einem Vorkommen kann sich schon schwierig gestalten, weil der Schilfrohrkolben meist in Naturschutzgebieten steht.
Im allgemeinen Sprachgebrauch versteht man unter „Schilf“ nicht nur ortsbezogen die charakteristischen Uferzonen vieler Seen, die mit ihrem dichten, halmartigen Bewuchs als Brutgebiet für seltene Vogelarten dienen. Der Oberbegriff dient auch meist zur Beschreibung aller Pflanzen, die sich im sumpfigen Untergrund (mit meist eher saurem Milieu) wuchernd ausbreiten und im Herbst in getrockneter Form als Dekorationselement oder als Material für Sichtschutzmatten und Dachabdeckungen geschnitten werden. Während sich Rohrkolben und Schilfrohr in ihrer Optik durchaus unterscheiden, gehören beide Gattungen zur Familie der Süßgräser (Poaceae).
Aus dem getrockneten, vorbehandelten Samen kann man Zunder herstellen.
The search for an occurrence can be difficult, because the reed flask is usually located in nature reserves.
In general, "reed" is understood to mean not only location-specific the characteristic bank zones of many lakes, which serve as a breeding area for rare bird species with their dense, halm-like vegetation. The upper term also serves as a general description of all plants, which spread in the swampy subsoil (usually with an acid environment) and are cut in dried form as a decoration element or as a material for protective mats and roof coverings. While tube-tubes and reeds differ quite in their appearance, both genera belong to the family of the sweet-grasses (Poaceae).
The dried pretreated seed can be used to produce scale.

„Flask Train” Skład z kontenerami specjalnego przeznaczenia, które są używane do transportu materiałów aktywnych jądrowo. Transport odbywa się między elektrownią jądrową, a specjalnym miejscem składowania zużytych przeróbek paliwa nuklearnego.
Każdy pojemnik transportowy jest przeznaczony do zachowania jego integralności w normalnych warunkach transportu oraz w hipotetycznych warunków awarii. Muszą chronić zawartość przed uszkodzeniem takich jak: uderzenia lub pożar. Materiały te są całkowicie zamkniete przed światem zewnetrznym, w celu zachowania ich zawartość przed wyciekiem, zarówno pod względem wycieku fizycznego i dla ochrony radiologicznej. Film dokumetalny z 1984 roku (dostepny na Youtube),pokazuje testy wytrzymałości pojemników na uszkodzenia mechaniczne (wypadek).
In lovely afternoon sunshine, and dark clouds in the background, we see the Torness Flasks returning to Sellafield. 37609 is in top n tail mode with 37612, and are seen passing Seton on the 26th March 2015 with 6M50. This shot was taken at 1532 and was running slightly early.
A shot taken from the footbridge at Wallyford Station shows 56067 with the Flask train to Torness.
This was a Sellafield - Torness working just before DRS took over these trains. This was the last shot I got before DRS took over. Note also the brake van on the rear, also the last time I saw one on the main line.
