What is it?


I am not sure what this is...it was about 6-8 inches tall, and there was lots of it near the swamp area.  I feel like I know but for the life of me I cannot think what it is.


And this was among some of those plants....

Edited to add:  Furry Gnome has identified this as Horsetails, the top photo being the male frond; the second is the female.  Thank you so much, Furry.

    Those are Horsetails, relared terns. The first picture is the male frond; the second is the female. It carries the spores. There are several varieties, but onle a few with branches like these.

    I've never been good at identifying plants so I'm no help but looks like you've got your answer in the comment above

    I want to say that I've seen plants like that around here.I don't think I have ever had a name for it though.

    The horse tails are very interesting. The pair make an interesting composition.

    That's a new one to me. Nice shots. I'm glad someone was able to identify it.

    Don't think I've seen that before.
    I'm not surprised that FG knew what it was. : )
