Description
Thanks to all those that helped to ID last nights posting.
Typha latifolia (Cat-o'-nine-tails, Broadleaf Cattail or Common Cattail) is a perennial herbaceous plant, which grows in temperate, subtropical and tropical areas throughout the Northern Hemisphere. It grows in marshy areas and flowers in mid to late summer. The recent wind and rain has ripped some open. Wikipedia.
Thanks for stopping by, taking a look and for all your previous favs and comments.
They are very much appreciated.

Great capture! I remember getting these to make torches out of them. We used to find them on the south shore of Long Island when I was a kid. :)
Great capture, Dana! I've always been fascinated by cattails
Great capture!
Wonderful photo Dana, congratulations!
Con quest'erba ( biodolo ) esisteva una volta la produzione di stuoie e rivestimenti di sedie. Lo stelo viene inoltre utilizzato in composzizioni floreali ( fiori secchi ). With this herb (Biodola) existed when the production of mats and coverings for seats. The stem is also used in composzizioni flowers (dried flowers). Beautiful capture , Dana !
These are 'bull rushes' to us in the UK Dana.
I foolishly once had one plant of this in my garden pond and banished it quickly before it took over!

I thought by the title you were going to show some poor sailor on board Old Ironsides getting whipped for violating ship's rules, Dana. In any case, very good clarity and color in this foto of a not very pretty plant, at least not in this particular condition.
