It seems like I know this as bulrush? Not sure if it is, or which one. Maybe Schoenoplectus?



This is what it looked like in last month:

Love your photos! They could be a great bathroom wallpaper - so relaxing while soaking in the tub!

Reminds me of Cladium (Jamaica Sawgrass): https://www.wildflower.org/gal...

Are the stems triangular? If so it could be Schoenoplectus americanus or a related plant.

Geesh, somebody smack me please and please ignore my earlier post ... it doesn't look anything like Jamaica Sawgrass! with greene and going with a variety of Schoenoplectus now that I've enlarged the photo's!

Softstem Bulrush, most likely.

Could be Juncus effusus?

Are the stems triangular or round?

Looking closely at the flowers, I think Janet is right, it's a Juncus of some sort.

Hi all. I think the stems are round. Let me go get some closer photos.

Yes, the stems are round.



Closer look at the flowers

From looking at the links compared to a closer look at my plant, it looks most like Juncus effusus to me.

What do you think?

It looks like Juncus effuses to me Christine, it is a very common reed. There is a key if you could follow it!

Juncus inflexus looks similar ..

Take your pick!

I agree with Janet. Juncus effuses is very common in most of East Texas. Juncus inflexus is only reported in the extreme North East U.S., nowhere in Texas.

Yep, since the stems are not triangular it is not a Schoenoplectus americanus; Juncus is probably it.
Your photos are beautiful; you should offer it as 'wallpaper' for computers.

Thank you all. All these years and I finally know the name of this plant. Marking it solved.

Hi Janet, thanks for you help and the links. I'm sure going to look over the 'keys' but not sure if I will be able to follow, as I'm not always good at following instructions.

Thank you for the compliments on the pictures, mostly due to nature and not my picture taking abilities!
