It may be work, it may be play, it may be near, it may be away. So here is the challenge - to shoot and post one photograph a day on this site. These photographs are a kind of diary of things I find interesting. I am also thinking that there will be days when I am unable to shoot, so on those infrequent occasions, I will post a photograph done on another day, but one that still feels important to me. - Ken Spencer

Stipa Tenuissima
You can't prove it by me, but that was the tag on the plant. It is also known as "Pony Tails" Feather Grass. We went to the garden center to find some plants for the side garden. I know nothing about gardening, so I just wandered around to see if I could find any interesting photographs. This is my favorite - I saw the swirls of the grasses from quite a distance away. I love the delicate curls of the grasses, and subtle color differences.
i know nothing about gardening, either. are you supposed to plant this in a flat field and then roll around in it? does "stipa tenuissima" mean "making hay"?
ReplyDeleteI am still laughing at the first comment, although I do not intend to plant this myself! :-)

Fortunately, Ken was not tempted to BUY this plant!
