I was told by an 86 year old man that has lived in Hartsburg his entire life that it is not bamboo, but something called RUSH. It may be true or not I don't know.

This prior post discussed Bamboo, Rushes, Indian Paintbrush.......

Beautiful photos, Jeff. A caption correction though for "Bambu, near Dutzow": Those plants are not Bamboo, but are known as Horsetails, a.k.a. Equisetum. There are quite a few species and I don't know which one is in your picture. It looks like this person knows a lot about Horsetails, and probably would like to see your photo of them: http://members.eunet.at/m.matus/
