,,,#,,,,,, the equisetum is a plant much older ,,,#,,#,##
#,,,#,,,,, than ferns, which are in turn much ,,,,#,,,##
##,,,#,,,, older than most trees. it's light green ,,,,,#,,#,
###,,,#,,, to yellow in color and is slightly ,,,,,,#,,,
#,##,,,#,, transparent. #,,,,,,#,,
,,###,,,#, ,#,,,,,,#,
,,#,##,,,# the plant has a spine. each vertebra is ,,#,,,,,,#
#,,,###,,, stacked upon the next, with spokelike ,,,#,,,,,,
,#,,#,##,, ribs radiating outward. even so, it's ,,,,#,,,,,
,,#,,,###, very light, being hollow. it's roughly ,,,,,#,,,,
,,,#,,#,## the height of a foxes tail, and shares ,,,,,,#,,,
,,,,#,,,## a similar plumage. #,,,,,,#,,
,,,,,#,,#, ##,,,,,,#,
,,,,,,#,,, it likes partial shade and very damp ,##,,,,,,#
#,,,,,,#,, areas ,###,,,,,,

,##,,,,,,# height. time can get diffracted in ,,,,,#,,,#
,###,,,,,, these, hitting each in turn in a ,,,,,,#,,,
,#,##,,,,, slightly different angle, and ,,,,,,,#,,
,,,###,,,, eventually spread thin. #,,,,,,,#,
