Cattails growing above the pond
Several upright cattail stems and narrow leaves emerge directly from the water. Their dense flower spikes stand above the foliage, while curved ripples and small waves spread across the pond below. Open sky forms the background behind the waterside plants.
How cattails spread through wetlands
Cattails grow in shallow freshwater and wet soil along pond edges, marshes, and slow waterways. They spread through underground stems called rhizomes, which can produce connected groups of new shoots. When a mature flower spike breaks apart, its soft fibers carry many tiny seeds on the wind.

- Young flower spikes: green before they ripen
- Leaves: blue-green, medium green, or yellow-green
