Bulrush

 
Typha latifolia

Flowering time: June-July

Size: 1-2m

Where to find it: Ponds, streams, many wet places in shallow water

Distinguish this from the Lesser Bulrush by its broad leaves (1-2cm wide) and robust habit, forming large clumps. Although the flowers are actually green, the brown seed heads are very conspicuous.
