The flowering parts of bur-reeds are exquisite! Look at this lovely floral arrangement:
The male and female flowers appear separately on the plant - the larger, less crowded female flower balls are formed below, and the smaller male flowers occur at the top end of the stalk.
Muskrats, marsh birds and other waterfowl browse on these tasty treats.

I suspect that the male and female parts will mature at different times to prevent self pollination.
