Do you have a lot of them there? (Besides the garden...which they must have invaded.) Native here, and very interesting plant, as you say. Unless I'm mistaken, they are partially comprised of silica.

Not a lot, but you see groups of them on forest edges. None in my garden. They are so hard to get rid of, that land infested with them got a tax reduction in previous centuries; in old documents here, such land was referred to as heremoesig land, "heremoes" being the Dutch name for the plant.
