Family : Equisetaceae (horsetail)
There are over 20 species of horsetail. This image is of the species Equisetum hyemale, which is native to Canada, the USA, Mexico, Iceland, and Eurasia.
Horsetails are living fossils: these plants have been on earth for hundreds of millions of years. It is one of the plants in the coal deposits of the Carboniferous period (270 million years ago!; These plants know how to survive!).
The medicinal use of horsetail is legendary, dating back to ancient Roman and Greek times when it was used to heal wounds, stop bleeding, and act as a diuretic. In the 17th century, Nicholas Culpeper used it to treat ulcers, kidney stones, and skin inflammations. The North American native peoples used it to treat kidney and bladder ailme...

I am a long time fan of horsetails. They are so beautiful (and in control.) I love this macro abstract of these amazing reeds! Beautiful capture, Connie! l/f/tw :))
Connie Handscomb replied:
While I've used the horsetail medicinally, I'm a late bloomer : my eyes have only recently been opened to this specimen ... in control of itself :) {unlike our out of control weather... Cheryl, in March alone, we had rain 28 of the 31 days! } ... ; I'm so pleased you like this image; have a beautiful day ... full of Sunshine ☀️ :)).

I love this image of Horsetail or Scouring Rush. Selective focus here really gives this image life. Due to the high silica content this plant also is used to clean like a scouring pad when crushed. As a potter I have collected this plant when it is dried out to burn as a source ash in making ash glaze for high fire stoneware ceramics. The Laurel and Black Duck cultures of the Rainy River District in Northern Minnesota and Northwestern Ontario would use horsetail as a tool to decorate their ceramic pots by pushing the reed slightly into the upper sides of their pots to form punctate patterns. I have seen the distinct striations of the reeds in these decorative patterns on pot shards from both cultures. I hope you don't mind my rambling. I just wanted to share this with you. Your image, L&F
