Equisetum
Sunday, 30 May 2021
I know these as horsetails. Plant scientists call them Equisetum. As kids, we used to pull them apart at the joints. We had no idea that the dark bands are (technically) scale leaves. Or that the horsetails reproduce by spores.
I think this is a branched Equisetum growing with forget-me-nots. Charming textural combination, no?
