Did you know?

If you cut open a cattail properly, inside is an aloe type substance that looks like a gauze bandage? Used by the Seminole Indians!

How cool is that!!! Think of the photography and sub-photography possibilities! Wonderful! Must go for a walk with a knife up north!

@Weezilou When you do this, be sure to cut the grass blade part open, start at the bottom, cut it vertically in half. So hard to explain! It's like cutting the top layer off to expose the interior.

@danette I completely understand! I have no shortage of cattails to practice on in Nova Scotia!
