| More blow than snow on this first snowfall of Winter 2014 (well, technically Fall). An almost-wordless Wednesday tribute. |
Wind and snow on winter grasses
A noun. A verb. A blog.

We planted some Miscanthus giganteus and totally love it. Had to stake and tie it due to wind this year but the flowers are lovely. They remind me of fire works in ultra-super slow motion.
They are very decorative. These ones I pass almost daily in a neighbour's yard. I like to watch them change through the seasons. In some areas, regretfully, they can be an invader, but not in our immediate neck of the woods.
So pretty! My grasses froze solid last week but still look great. Unlike my other plants lol.
Brandon, last winter, these very grasses in my neighbour's yard were flattened like pancakes by the ice storm. When the ice melted, they bounced back up again. It was pretty impressive. My garden's too shady for most grasses, but I always admire them in OPGs (other people's gardens).
Hahaha! I admire so much in OPGs! My little patio garden can only contain so much!
