Yup, cat tails, native to Minnesota wetlands. They don't explode naturally, but if you hit them when they are fully grown, they explode and fuzz goes everywhere. Also heard they are edible. The spot is really nice, soil and sunlight wise, but being next to a swamp, my nine to five job is trying to deter insects from my plant. Each day remove a beer bowl trap with 40 plus slugs, no exaggeration. Does anyone know what is happening to my stalk? Is a bug destroying them, or is it growing bark? I cant tell if these are pre-flowers either. So many questions, so many more years of knowledge to acquire... and completely off subject, picked this up at the store a while back, but has anyone tried this beer? DELICIOUS!
