If any Boston-area folks want to see what "real" papyrus (the 6' tall stuff) looks like, they have some at the Museum of Science, in the Sun Lab area (along with many other cool plants that need more heat than Boston has). Seeing it helps a LOT in visualizing what some of those highly-stylized ancient Egyptian paintings actually depict...
