Those strange 'lil thingies are all over the place and I have NO idea what this is! Does anyone know??? Looks like an invasion to me! o_O

Mushrooms? What region of the earth was the shot taken in?

No! No! No! I've seen these before as a child growing up around the waters of Michigan. Some varient of a reed aren't they? Genus of Bamboo???

Yank My Doodle, It's a Dandy!

Cool looking alien plants. I like this photo. Maybe you should taste one? Or maybe not...;-)

The shot has been taken in Kent, England and there's no water around! As for tasting it! sigh u want my death??? O_o

no...i was joking! do not taste this!

I guess I got that right dear! I'm not THAT dumb! ;P

My wife says they are some sort of mushroom, but she can't remember the name.

Ah! That's what Laurent suggested too actually! If that's what it is, I never saw such 'shrooms before! Are they edible?

In english it is called Field Horsetail These shots are the first that show up early in spring, then they become green and kind of bushy Latin; Equisetum arvense Very common nd in the green form that comes a little later in the spring it is a medical herb, very rich in chisel.

Oh wow!! Thx for that Gun!!! I'm impressed at all the info here!! I never saw those before!! What's "chisel" though??

Sorry, it is silicon in english

Silicon??? Like what they use for breasts implants?? O_o

Maybe it is silica then, my dictionary said silicon. Anyhow, it is an essential ingredient in our skeletons and bodies.

Oh!! So they're edible then!? And silicon means silicium in French! weird cos apparently silicium is a metal!! I'm confused!!

It's a medical herb in it's later form Here a site for you in french

What a cool shot Pascale. They almost look like some kind of weird mushrooms. Sweet!!!!....and as i start reading what previous posters has typed....looks like im not the only one thinking they are, LOL.

How come we say 'It's colder than hell outside' when isn't it realistically always colder than hell since hell is supposed to be fire and brimstone?

I was going to say Horsetail,but most of ones I see are green. Make a good tincture,like Natures healing stuff.

"The happiness of a man in this life does not consist in the absence but in the mastery of his passions."

These shots of Pascale are the early form of the green ones

Oooooh! Prele!!! Ok ok ok ok!!! Thx again a million for that Gun!! It seems that I got a pretty cool and instructive shot here then!! ;) We've all learnt something here apparently!! I'm pleased! :D

Very cool plant and info about it. Reminds me of the fields of my youth back on Sirrus 9....ahhhhhh. ;o]

Informative thread :) I saw these growing by the side of the road the other day and wondered what it was.

And every one said, 'If we only live,
We too will go to sea in a Sieve,---
To the hills of the Chankly Bore!'
Far and few, far and few, Are the lands where the Jumblies live;
Their heads are green, and their hands are blue, And they went to sea in a Sieve.
