Giant Horsetail Closeup
Close-up detail of the ancient giant horsetail. What you see as leaves are actually branches, and the leaves are the tiny dark brown "feathery" structures that are the only part of the plant that does not contain chlorophyll. This one was photographed in Central Washington just south of Olympia.
