Papyrus plants add a bit of tropics to area | The Greenville News | greenvilleonline.com
More than 20 years ago, I saw an exhibit of papyrus plant reeds flourishing at Kew Gardens in London.
I later learned that they also grow here as annuals and perennials. Perhaps I had seen them earlier near lakes and farm ponds, but we must have called them by a different name.
Because the foliage radiates out at the top like the ribs of an umbrella, we may have known them as the umbrella or bullrush plant.
