Palm Sedge Winterized

Palm Sedge likes to grow along the edges of lakes and ponds as shown above in the frozen pond in Marquette Park, Chicago.

A dead give away for this plant is the tall height of this plant and its highly triangular stem. Triangular stems are characteristic of carex species as the one above (Carex muskingumensis).

The stem is sharply triangular and tough.
