It's a misty morning and the teasel and bulrush make for nice silhouettes.

These are one of my favorite plants, pictured last summer, winter 2023, and today. This particular species is typha latifolia (the bulrush). The plant looks so peculiar. Some parts of it are edible as well, though I've never tasted it. They are called "osmankäämi" in Finnish, but they also have an old colloquial name: papinkulli.

The Finnish for "priest's c**k".

Moving on... If I spot bulrushes, I kinda feel compelled to take photos of their "cigars" every time. No no, not because of... Nevermind.

Despite the grey and chilly weather here in Helsinki, some plants have noticed the first – albeit tenuous – signs of spring. I have never seen snowdrops in early March before. They are certainly pretty, but this worries me a bit. I also photographed some willow catkins, grey alder catkins and disintegrating bulrush seed heads. Though truth be told, willow catkins started appearing in January because it was so warm.
