jfinch's Identifications

On a freshwater coastal plain pond shore. Vibrant green, very dense, catching my feet and tripping me as I walked through due to the fact that the species roots at the tip. Second photo shows rooting at the tip. This is not the root itself, but where the tip bends over and roots in the wet sand.

A little friend who was hanging out with me by the rocks one day after school. Did you know they averagely have about 40-1000 eggs for a litter. Sometimes they last up to 14 years, however once they sprout there wings they have only a couple weeks left till they die. Isn't that bummer, gaining the ability's of flight then dying two weeks later -_-.
