Autumn is a time when even grass can become a beautifully colored photograph. Grasses are a very diverse plant group and can be found in a huge range of climates, colors and sizes. Mibora minima is the smallest grass which grows between 2-15 centimeters tall, whereas the largest grass which is actually a bamboo can reach a height of 30 meters (98 feet)! Grass grows on every continent and in every climate even in Antarctica, and so can be a colorful and very hardy addition to any garden. Happy weekend everyone!
I love the whorls in the grasses 🙂 do you have bamboo in Australia? I love bamboo in all forms including art, there is something magical about it. Hope you are having a fantastic weekend.

Hi Margaret, we do have bamboo in Australia, though it’s not native. I agree with you, there is something so magical and tranquil about bamboo, and it’s such a lovely combination of greens.

Thanks Pete, it was such a random photo that I didn’t expect to get anything useful from, but it surprises me.

If it weren’t for the hardiness of the grasses of the world, it would be an entirely different place–if our niche in it would be able to exist at all. We have the grasses to thank for roughly around 90% of our ability to fit into this world’s ecosystems. Let’s hear it for the grasses!

So very true, and a really interesting thought…. Would we exist at all without grass?
