cattail
Wetland brown cigar
Cattail is a tall wetland plant with long, flat leaves and a distinctive brown, cylindrical flower spike that resembles a cat's tail.
Cattails grow in marshes, along pond edges, and in ditches throughout temperate regions.
The fuzzy seed heads eventually burst into cottony fluff: The cattails along the lake were starting to go to seed.
