The lakebed redstalk split from their ancestor, the lakebed redmoss. The short, stacked colonies of the redmoss have evolved into taller colonies, as a logical extension of the redmoss' growing process. Some stalks have been known to grow up to 2 centimeters tall, and during spring and summer, the lake will appear to be the color of blood, due to their new reproductive cycle. As a result of this morbid coloring, they have been nicknamed "Devil's Grass".
