Cattails. Seen them all my life. Used them as decorations. Never knew that if you press gently on the cats tail, the seeds surge out in a July 4th snake way. It’s amazing. If you haven’t experienced it, try it. Take a cattail, a mature one, and disturb the brown outer covering. You don’t have to use much force, about as much as required to get a fingernail into an orange skin, probably less. Kate discovered this after we harvested cattails for fall decor.<\/p>\n
When the grandkids came up on Friday, I showed them the “cattail trick.” They loved it. So much so that they got Jon to take them out cattail hunting the next day.<\/p>\n
