These days, the front yard prairie is purple not just because of the clover but also because of the big bluestem. Which is called “bluestem” because it’s purple, obviously.
The other grass you can see is green needle grass, which is, oddly enough, green in colour. #FrontYardPrairie #grasses #nativeplants

Decades ago, I covered my mother's 1950's Hula Hoop with thick jute, preparing to recreate a wall hanging I'd seen. It soon morphed into an Herb-Drying Rack, and has remained one ever since. #home #homedecor #homechores #homely #oldfashioned #herb #herbs #herbdrying #herbdryingrack #herbdryingracks #hangingdecor #hangingfeature #elelphantears #chocolatemint #grass #grasses #creative #creativity #gettingcreative #getcreative #doityourself #doityourselfproject #doityourselfprojects #craft #craft

Colour, or black and white?

The beautiful grasses in the meadows are thick and deep, some up to my waist. In 30+ years I've never seen them like this as there are usually cattle and sheep to crop them. Not this year. Just a few dozen sheep. #grasses

Lush native lawn ideas for waterwise, lower-maintenance gardens
By Tegan Osborne

If mowing the lawn is getting you down, it might be time to ditch your exotic buffalo, couch or kikuyu grass and switch to a native alternative.

#NoMowMay is over and somehow we have ended up in the middle of June. But does that mean we have cut the meadow down?

... trick question, of course not :blob3cevil:

The grasses have grown tall and turned golden, most flowers have gone to seed - now's the time for birds and mice to get their snacks. And I hope that the Primulas, Hawkweed and Geum will get their chance to disperse their seeds so we get even MORE of them next season.

But we will start mowing some patches soon, as gently as possible, so the meadow can succesively regrow. We want our critters to have places to live and hide throughout the whole year

Early morning on the allotment. I have many different ornamental grasses which are starting to look nice now. The one on the right is Melica ciliata, a very easy drought resistant grass. At the back is Stipa gigantea, which has a lot of impact but on a small footprint. #allotment #garden #grasses

#Trees, #grasses, #corals, and #oysters are foundational to the structure of an #ecosystem while they are alive. But new research shows that when they die — due to extreme events like storms, wildfires, or marine heatwaves — the physical remains of these species continue shaping the ecosystem.

Two favourites: Anthoxanthum odoratum (Sweet vernal grass with heavenly smell of fresh hay) and Holcus lanatus (with its beautiful German name Wolliges Honiggras, "wooly honey-grass").

If you can, why don't you take the time to take a super close look at grass flowers? They can be absolutely stunning! 🌾

What's your favourite grass, I want to know! Everybody should have one! 😍

The two-car Garagarchives was a requirement, when we downsized to a ranch house. We use it to house our art, library, and other collections.

“The #grasses are really those pioneer species, and they are the #dune builders,” she says.

“By sticking up in the air, they really are able to catch and drop that sand, and that’s the physical action that builds the dune.”

"At the time [1991], it was believed a #temperature increase could lead to longer, lusher #grasses. But instead of flourishing, the grasses & #wildflowers started to disappear, replaced by #sagebrush. The experimental #meadows morphed into a desert-like #scrubland. Even the #fungi in the #soils were transformed by #heat."
