Scenic Kentucky: Cattails gone to seed 2020-09-24 - Central Kentucky - Photo by Pen. According to the Wikipedia entry on cattails, their "seeds are minute, 0.2 millimetres (0.008 in) long, and attached to fine hairs. When ripe, the heads disintegrate into a cottony fluff from which the seeds disperse by wind. Typha are often among the first wetland plants to colonize areas of newly exposed wet mud, with their abundant wind-dispersed seeds. Buried seeds can survive in the soil for long periods of time. They germinate best with sunlight and fluctuating temperatures, which is typical of many wetland plants that regenerate on mud flats. The plants also spread by rhizomes, forming large, interconnected stands." Comments? | Click here to share, print, or bookmark this photo.
