reproductive shoot of the field horsetail?!

スコッチの散歩中にツクシが生えているのを見つけました。梅の花も咲き始め、着実に春が近づいています(*^^*) アメリカにはツクシがないので、今回ツクシって英語でなんというんだろぅと思い調べてみると、"reproductive shoot of the field horsetail" だそうです(^^;; な、ながい。とにかく、春が待ち遠しい私たちです。

We found some tsukushi on the side of the road today when we walked Scotch. As plums started to bloom, I feel that Spring is approaching every day. Since tsukushi doesn't grow in the states, I looked up how to call them in English. And here is what I got ; reproductive shoot of the field horsetail. What a long name!! Anyhow, we can't wait for the arrival of Spring　o(^▽^)o
