Common Horsetail

Horsetail Shoots

I saw this one the other day for, I believe, the first time.  I wondered what to call it.  I noticed some Common Horsetail plants growing nearby and wondered if it might be related or a different stage of the same.  That is exactly what it was.

Common Horsetail

I have been aware of this plant for maybe 10 years but did not know what it was called or could not remember.  Thanks to Wikipedia for help with this dilemma. It seems that they grow in infertile soil.  It is a prehistoric plant that grew over a hundred million years ago.  It reproduces by spores.  You can read more at Wikipedia.
