Iris ish plant id

Typha latifolia , cat-o-nine?

They show up in water features, tagging along on Bird's feet etc. A nice addition to any garden pond

That's interesting to me as there are none of those in the bayou behind the property. Closest looking things are Tx Iris.

Internet search cat tail seedhead - when the seed head, which looks like a corn dog, burst, the seeds can be blown long distances on air currents.

It’s a cosmopolitan aquatic plant found throughout the world. I see what appears to be a bayou behind your yard - I’m sure there is some cat tail in that waterbody somewhere.

I have a small patch behind my house, those things float everywhere for a week or two. Hit one w a lawnmower and it looks like a cottonwood is near

Helpful hint. I put some of that from the spillway in my fish pond at my old house. Took over the whole pond in about month. Seemed like it won’t go away after that.
