Typha latifolia (bulrush, common bulrush, broadleaf cattail, common cattail, great reedmace, cooper’s reed, cumbungi) or 長苞香蒲 Typha angustata Bory et Chaub.
You can find this almost everywhere near waterside. Insects, birds and other small animals like to live among these for shelter.

日本楓’紅皮’Coral Bark Japanese Maple (Acer palmatum ‘Sango-kaku’)
The beautiful winter looks…white snow on red branches! 這樹的白雪染紅枝冬景.
It gets more popular these years… I think it will replace ‘bloodgood’ soon. Love it!
Love its four season looks: spring the shoots with pink tone light or yellowish green leaves with coral stems. Summer is medium green or yellowish green leaves with coral bark stems. Fall colour is golen/orange beautiful colour with coral bark stems. Winter is coral bark stem stand out in white snow.
我很喜歡此日本楓品種’紅皮’. 在北美四季分明的氣候裡花園有它很吸引人的目光. 春季的新芽是帶有粉紅色的黃綠色葉片,夏天葉片是黃綠色的,秋色是黃橙色. 冬天時紅枝襯著白雪很美麗. 做成盆景會很美…
