Oh! Now I see. Scallions must be thin, strawlike things rather than the
larger, more bulbuous green onions I was thinking of. I was also thinking
the cattails that I had seen had brown stems, at least on top.

This might work under low light conditions. Now to figure out how to
do the lily-pads and the frog. Yes, on a sugar paste lake tinted with
blue. hmmm.
