Oh, Dearest Mother, Sweetest Virgin of Altagracia, our Patroness. You are our Advocate and to you we recommend our needs. You are our Teacher and like disciples we come to learn from the example of your holy life. You are our Mother, and like children, we come to offer you all of the love of our hearts. Receive, dearest Mother, our offerings and listen attentively to our supplications. Amen.

Ok, my 10 yo has been collecting sticks for sword fighting off of some empty lots down the street. One particular stick has us intrigued because it is like cork inside the bark. We have no idea what this is from but would like to find out.

Unfortunately, we could not see anything nearby with similiar branches. We found the stick, in a very rocky and woodsy area (probably some limestone caves back there somewhere) but these lots are also a dumping ground for neighbors who trim their bushes and trees (we have also found bamboo back there which is not native) so we are not sure whether it came from something growing naturally or something a neighbor dropped off. We also have no idea what leaves or other parts of the said plant look like because we cannot find anything similiar around - so we have nothing to go by except the sticks themselves. Any ideas?
