That first pictures looks like it could have been taken of eelgrass under the water, or something. It took me a moment to realize all those bright motes weren't bubble. :)
Reeds, huh ... I can't get it straight in my head that they look like tall grass, not like bulrushes. Why does Wikipedia have them in the categories "herbal and fungal hallucinogens" and "Psychedelic tryptamine carriers"? Does one have to smoke the seeds or can one get high by chewing the stems?
I had to actually search the Wikipedia article to find that sentence on the rhizomes--an index that I needed to go.to.bed. So I didn't do any further looking :-)
But I hadn't realized, or had forgotten, that bulrushes are apparently another of those differences between Englishes. Typha. Apparently called cattails in the US.
