 That sounds more normal to me. Then the one I found last month would be
a rather southern occurence of ssp. boreale perhaps, which in the North
(Moose Factory at 52 degrees N) was coning enthousiatically. The whole
plant is rather small.

  I've not noted the last fertile frond emergence date, but by May 1 they seem to 
  be on the way out.

    I was surprised to find coning Field Horsetails (E. arvense) as late as 
    June 22nd in the very South of Canada (latitude: 45 degrees North), 
    being used to seeing them the first week of April (last of March, 
    nowadays). Is this the normal time in the US/Canadian border region?
