    Hi, Would you have an identification for this plant? Again, thank you for your time and expertise? Shannon

    Answer

    Dear Shannon, you have photographed a species of Typha (cattail). It is difficult to tell you with certainty which species you have (broad-leaved or the hybrid glaucous cattail) without having a specimen in hand. Hopefully knowing the genus will be useful to you. Best wishes.
