Calling all botanists!



The Mister and the child went beyond our fence to collect an errant backyard ball, and came back with this. We're curious about what it is!

The plant, they tell me, stood 18-24" tall, had no leaves and was just stalk and these berry / bud looking things.

Tell us what it is? Hazard a guess? Send us to a site for information?

    looks like a wand for a mythical southwestern antelope charmer.
