Extra fluffy cattails...I remember, when I lived back in New Jersey, cutting these down and placing them in a tall vase....and coating them in hair spray so they wouldn't "explode" in the house!
Jumpin' Cattails this is the time of year mine explodes too. I hope mom doesn't put in hairspray on my tail. PS that is a good trick with the hairspray never heard. Hugs HiC
i did not know they explode, i do know cotton explodes, so must me the same type thing. hubby says they used to burn these as torches. could we have a flaming one just for me????

ReplyDeleteI don't recall every hearing bullrushes called cattails before - but I can see why! YAM xx
I have experience of the 'exploding' bullrushes, never thought of the hairspray trick, wish I had, what a great idea
