That is papyrus. It will die back and come back next season. This is what the egyptians made paper out of. -

Looks like the Egyptians could have used them as fans. Very unusual plant that I have never seen before. -

King Tut papyrus plant. Available thru pond plant suppliers everywhere. I have tried to overwinter in the house in brite sun with no luck. If you live in s. Florida they probably live year round. They do not survive frost . Very decorative in the pond.
