Although in the northern hemisphere many of the flowers are beginning to fade, there are so many interesting grasses now coming into their own.
There is a multitude of them …
… in so many shapes and sizes …
… and colours, too …
… so varied and pretty …
… as they go to seed in all their frondy, wispy glory.
Happy Sunday.
Blowing in the Wind This pampas grass caught my attention with the wind blowing it around. While I wouldn’t call it colorful, it is a nice wintertime…

Autumn is soon ending and winter is officially starting on December 21, so there aren’t many of those lovely fall colours left, but they’re not completely gone.
There are lots of grasses still and some of them are beautiful. I find that this one almost looks like a weaving.
On second thought, it’s not so much the colour as the texture of these grasses that I find so appealing. We are suddenly getting some very cold winds, so seeing these lovely plants is somehow very comforting.
Happy weekend.
I like how these ornamental grasses provide visual interest in the winter – as well as good ground protection for our little quail. They’re such lovely medium brown/light brown colours.
It was also nice to see the red fruit of the barberry bushes. I understand that the city is planning to remove them because they’re invasive and are causing soil issues (they also apparently provide a great place for ticks to hide, too) but in the meantime they’re definitely a bright spot of colour.
I think this could be a type of wheat grass, but I’m not sure. I liked its compact seed configuration as well as how it was undulating in the wind.
I hope you have an enjoyable Saturday.
