LOL! I understood that, TY. My comment was just lamenting on why I don't know more about these. There's a huge swamp of them that I drive by once a week. I stopped the car & walked toward it one day, but it's so much rougher than it looks from the car. I chickened out when the vegetation got just shy of knee-deep. Not worth dying for on the side of the road, just to get a better look and it was obvious I would be risking ruining our camera if I tripped in a hole or something.
There's also patches of them in the lake in a nearby state park, but the same things keep me keeping my distance from those too. I know, I'm being a total girl about it, but I've seen too many snakes around to go traipsing through stuff like that, especially without somebody else around. The last time we went swimming in a creek, we saw 6 of them within a few hours, the guys killed one about 10 feet long.
What a great thing for parks to do - so few people have anywhere to have plants like these at home, and unlikely to get near them even out in the wild.
It occurred to me they might have some info on a website, but I didn't find anything so specific. I bet they just don't have time, keeping up with such a massive place. Wow! Looks like one would need at least one whole day to see it all, if not more! If I ever get that far west, I'm sooo visiting this place. Glad I stumbled onto this question.
