Parrot-Feather
Myriophyllum aquaticum
Parrot feather is an
immersed plant that trails along the ground or water surface. It is
easy to see why this plant is called parrot feather: its delicate,
feathery, bright green leaves grow in profusion.
Parrot feather
leaves are oblong, deeply cut
and feathery looking. The leaf color
is bright blue-green. Like most water milfoils, parrot feather leaves are
arranged in whorls about the stem. Its leaves are in whorls of four to
six. Stems can be five feet
long. Stems trail along the ground or water surface, becoming erect and
leafy at the ends
