GUYS?!?!?!?

Please note that it's the "SEASON FINALE". NOT SERIES. SEASON.

WE HAVE SEVERAL OUTCOMES:

It's actually the series AND season ending.

It's just the season ending. In either case, the following cases CAN STILL APPLY-

One: everything's neatly tied up with a great, heartwarming ending!!! YAY!!!!!!!!!

Two: one will NOT HAPPEN BECAUSE REEDMACE LOVES ANGST AND TORTURE. AUGHHHHHHHH- Okay, so there's gonna be a really tense, heart-wrenching climax where we'll shed a few tears, but everything still ends fine and we all go home happy and satisfied. Everyone's fine.

Three: It's tense, heart-wrenching, tear-jerking, and ends on a cliffhanger!!!! Wouldn't that be epic?!?!?! *future me punching the wall and sobbing*

Four: Tense, it ends well, but it ends on a cliffhanger possibly setting up for season two.

Five: we sob a lot, someone ends up dying, but it somehow still has a satisfying ending.

Six: someone dies anyway with any of the previous endings-

SEVEN-

Okay I know it's gonna be enjoyable, cuz the freaking creators are absolute deities BUT-

REEDMACE-

PLEASE-

I BEG Y'ALL-

JUST TAKE IT EASY-

DON'T HURT THE BOYS TOO MUCH-

J-JUST PUT THE ANGST DOWN- *backs up into corner* PUT IT DOWN!!!

you just got reedmaced

Silhouetted reedmace {Typha latifoliaat} at sunrise with mist and reflections, Lower Tamar Lakes, Cornwall, UK. November 2020.

August 10th - The first ride in rain for what seemed like months took me into Walsall mid day. Refreshing, warm, sweet rain. The noise of it rang like music on the canal, and for once, I didn't mind getting wet. The birds seemed to appreciate it, and the plants were, of course, waiting weeks for this moment. 

The roses at Bentley Bridge looked superb.

I was fascinated to note nearby too the odd double-headed reedmace, which I’ve never seen before.

Bulrush (Typha) - Indiscretion, Docility

An iconic lakeside plant, the bulrush (or reedmace, or cattail) looks exactly like it does in the cartoons- the picture of gently swaying, peaceful summer bliss. It’s actually an incredibly useful plant: most of it is completely edible. It can be made into flour, eaten raw or as a cooked root vegetable, mashed, dried… And it’s not just edible: the plant has found its uses in chair seating and binding, textile, paper, weaving… It’s truly a plant that’s friendly to humans!
