Simplestem Bur-reed Sparganium Erectum syn Sparganium polyedrum, Sparganium ramosum	aka Branched Bur-reed, exotic bur-reed, Bur reed, Astiger Igelskolben, Biodo, Broadfruit Burreed, Grote Egelskop Medicinal	These are the male flowers that always grow at the top of the flowering stem.	Male flowers again, just later in the month.	This is the female flower in July.
		This picture was taken August 13. You see last year's leaves at the base of this year's growth.	This is a closer look at last year's leaves and this year's growth.
This should make a great paper. See how the fiber runs the full length of the leaf just like a grass?		Here is a picture of Flag iris (left) next to Simplestem bur reed. The iris has blue-green foliage while the bur reed is yellow-green.		This and the next two pictures were taken September 18 in the overflow ditch for the canal that runs along Highway 97 just north of Worden, Oregon.
