Why you should know Typha spp.

Cattail plants are often seen on towels and kitchen decanters and placemats...but you might notice fewer of them along the roadways and creek beds. In their place, you might see an invasive plant, like Phragmites (tall waving grass-like fronds) or like loostrife (magenta flowers). But the cattails are part of the environment that belongs here. They clean the waterways and they provide food for many other living things in our environment. Help preserve the native species. "Dr. J"
