The Field Horsetail (Equisetum arvense) is a rather bushy perennial with a rhizomatous stem formation native to the northern hemisphere. These horsetails may have sterile or fertile stems. Sterile stems start to grow after the fertile stems have wilted. The sterile stems tend to be much taller and bushier, with the jointed segments being around one inch long with a diameter of about 1/20th of an inch. These segments contain one set of whorled, slender, erect branches each. Some stems can have as many as 20 segments and be as tall as 2-24 inches. The fertile stems tend to be half as tall as the sterile stems and also tend to be more succulent.

Hi Viera,
Excellent capture of this horsetail!
I like your POV and the clear details got on the subject.
Think that is very good the composition made and the colour contrast of the blue sky with the green grasses.
Congratulations and thanks for share it.
My best regards,
JM

Ahoj Viera.
Velmi působivé hledisko,ta přeslička vypadá ohromná (jako ty praprapra-původní :-)) )...a vyroste z toho taková krásná jemná rostlinka.
Líbí se mi kompozice a velmi dobré detaily.Pěkně zachycená tato zajímavá rostlina.
Hezký zbytek neděle,Miloš.
