Robin and I were out on of our trails and we witnessed the explosion of Typha latifolia. No wind to speak of... no warning... Yes, ladies and gentlemen there were cattail seeds everywhere. It was really pretty cool. And now you know how they spread prolifically.

By the way... anyone ever notice that patch of cattails just west of of the turnoff to the summit of Terry Peak. You are going to Cheyenne Crossing and you see these cattails... How do they do so well up here?
