The bulrush - as kids we used to call them punks and cattails. They're a marshland plant, a sedge or a grass, with lots of varieties that grow in lots of places. You can find them at the shore, along creeks and rivers, around lakes and ponds, even in drainage ditches. We'd cut off the brown, velvet-like flowers, and since they're shaped like cigars we'd light them. They'd give off a unique aroma as one end smoldered and we'd pretend to smoke them. We even believed the smoke warded off mosquitoes. On a hot summer night, who knew?
