Of all the plants which spring up or open at this time of year, horse tails bring me the most pleasure. They are odd, inconsistent looking things, soaked in the history of the world.
It would be daft to repeat everything I've said of them before so I'll re-direct you to
Having named it that at the beginning of May 2011, I'll find it hard to top!
On the other hand . . . it's not exactly informative. I'll have to read up on Equisetum arvense properly and get to grips with its life cycle before the next post.
Meanwhile, enjoy the oddity!
(These are about four inches high.)

Their life-cycle is utterly amazing, to my mind.
Beautiful, Lucy.

Fascinating, I don't think that I've ever seen any of these. Flighty xx
I have posted about horsetail as it takes over my garden so I am not enamored with it...but it is as old as the dinosaurs.
