Madagascar has 321 species of Cyperaceae in 33 genera, representing all major clades of the family. The predominantly tropical Cypereae clade composes about half of the sedge flora, of which Cyperus represents about a third of the species in Madagascar. The Cariceae, a predominantly northern hemisphere temperate clade, is unusually highly represented and composes 10% of the sedge flora, occurring mostly in the highlands. In Madagascar, 55 species (17% of flora, mainly Carex and Cyperus) occur in forests and all are C3 perennials.

Spring is here and temps look to be stuck in the 20's for as far as I can see. I've had it with Winter..... Snow, ice, polar vortexes....It's all yours. It looks like this is the closest I'm gonna get to some tolerable temps around here.
The papyrus paper was used as a texture in this photo, I'm still learning how to do this technique. It took me many hours to do this one.

This tall, robust, leafless aquatic plant can grow 4 to 5 m (13 to 16 ft) high. It forms a grass-like clump of triangular green stems that rise up from thick, woody rhizomes. Each stem is topped by a dense cluster of thin, bright green, thread-like stems around 10 to 30 cm (4 to 10 in) in length, resembling a feather duster when the plant is young. Greenish-brown flower clusters eventually appear at the ends of the rays, giving way to brown, nut-like fruits.
The younger parts of the rhizome are covered by red-brown, papery, triangular scales, which also cover the base of the culms. Botanically, these represent reduced leaves, so strictly it is not quite correct to call this plant fully "leafless".
Egyptians used the plant (which they called aaru) for many purposes, most famously for making papyrus. Its name in Greek and in English is widely believed to have come from Egyptian. Cyperus papyrus is now used mainly for decoration, as it is nearly extinct in its native habitat in the Nile Delta, where in ancient times it was widely cultivated.
Theophrastus's History of Plants (Book iv. 10) states that it grew in Syria, and according to Pliny's Natural History, it was also a native plant of the Niger River and the Euphrates.
Aside from papyrus, several other members of the genus Cyperus may also have been involved in the multiple uses Egyptians found for the plant. Its flowering heads were linked to make garlands for the gods in gratitude. The pith of young shoots was eaten both cooked and raw. Its woody root made bowls and other utensils and was burned for fuel. From the stems were made reed boats (seen in bas-reliefs of the Fourth Dynasty showing men cutting papyrus to build a boat; similar boats are still made in southern Sudan), sails, mats, cloth, cordage, and sandals. Theophrastus states that King Antigonus made the rigging of his fleet of papyrus, an old practice illustrated by the ship's cable, wherewith the doors were fastened when Odysseus slew the suitors in his hall (Odyssey xxi. 390)
The "rush" or "reed" basket in which the Biblical figure Moses was placed may have been made from papyrus.

Statuette of Tutankhamun the Harpooner.
A gilded, wooden statuette of King Tutankhamun stands on a wooden boat that is painted to represent a papyrus boat. The figure of the king holds a bronze coiled chain to bind the animal, representing Seth, after spearing it and an
Unguent Vase with Magnificent Symbols of Unification. Cosmetic articles were very important in Egyptian households. Of all the magnificent alabaster vases found in the tomb of Tutankhamun, this unguent container is the most impressive. The composition depicts different symbols that represent the unification of the country and serve to protect its fertility: the vase with the bound lilies and papyrus plants, the uraei, or cobras, with the crowns of Upper and Lower Egypt, and the two pot-bellied figures of the Nile god. The falcons cut in openwork at the base protect the king's name.
