Hi Everyone,
The other day, I was on the Wooley Boardwalk and noticed something interesting. Have you ever walked or ridden your bike on the boardwalk before? It's close to my house, so most days, I'm out there and enjoying it! As I was running, I observed some tan colored fluff on top of the snow:
When I came to the end of the boardwalk, I saw the source of the fluff, these sticks with lots of fluff on top. It almost reminded me of cotton candy! Do you know what sort of plant this might be?
I'll give you a clue...We had these to take apart in the fall this year. Some friends used tweezers, others used tongs, scissors, or even their hands, and our forest was FILLED with fluff.
Do you need a hint? It's a plant that often grows in a marsh and is named after an animal's body part; an animal that purrs, meows, and likes to chase mice.
Can you guess what it is?
It's a cattail!
