Swedish designed and printed fabric from
Ljungbergs Textiltryck, called 'Kaveldun' (=cat tail). Lovely. Cat tails (
Typha) is in its own family, and reed is
Phragmites in the grass family. Both are wetland plants, and common both in Europe and North America. I love the cigar-shaped dense flower heads of the cat tails.
Phragmites is among the most widespread plants in the world. There is some artistic freedom in this pattern; in real life cat tail stems never branch as shown in this print.
Species: cattail,
Typha sp., Typhaceae
Species: common reed,
Phragmites sp., Poaceae
