  • Question

    Lincoln, Massachusetts. Growing in the middle of a shallow pond with Nuphar and Nymphaea. There is a lot of Scirpus cyperinus at one edge. This pond is connected to another pond where cattails grow. I might be able to get a closer picture but the plant itself is inaccessible to me.

    Answer

    Dear jfc, you've photographed a species in the Poaceae (grass family), but I can't yet tell you who the plant is. It will require flowers/fruits to identify this species. Best wishes.
