That's a good question, we always called them bulrushes, even though i don't believe they are. They are not cattail-like, as they are more tube-like. And they work great for shining up pennies.

We call that snake grass. On our property you only find it along creeks

Yup!
That is "horsetail" around here. But it is actually the in the genus Equisetum.
It is a vascular plant, that works really well for cleaning pots and pans, or anything else while camping (or shining up pennies I guess?[8D])because it is actually a silicate (contains/made up ofsilica).
And yes, I am a biology nerd and major.
And yes, I did just rip apart a biology text looking that up.
