I had been going to say "a sedge", now I feel under pressure I'll think about it

KT

Not a winter form but the spore-bearing stems that lack chlorophyll and usually appear in early spring before the sterile stems. Some species of Equisetum do not have separate stem types.

Wet, on the edge of a pool.
