- enough pictures
in the other presentations
of the Field Horsetail
for using just the cross-section
as a comparison today.
Equisetum fluviatile
Sjöfräken
The Water Horsetail
hollow as a drinking straw
compared to the F. H.
It's never comfortable
walking the Ditch
along the main road
and without good boots
footing takes attention
from the flora.
So, realizing the potential
of a new pair of wellingtons
I walk the length of the Ditch
in portions - and find
(as usual)
that it isn't all the same.
The patch of Water Horsetail
is in the portion that
has belonged to the Domain
for two summers before.
Overlooked, I suspect
also as "just another"
Field Horsetail.
