ornamental grass Dear friends,
These pictures are taken just for sake of capturing the beauty of grass. Not requesting ID, because photos do not cover required aspects. Beautiful scene, appreciate it. still i will take a stab at naming it? one on the left: the fluffy one Muhlenbergia sp? though can also be part of Pennistemum group.
I know you did not want id. 🙂 Thanks … for the possible genera 🙂
I too thought of fountain grass … but on internet came across so many of Pennisetum spp. and their cultivars, I thought is better to label it simply as “ornamental grass” !!
In such cases, perhaps recognizing works better than identifying. i had run into a lot of ornamental grasses in southern california over the decades
but this year it was everywhere because of increasing use of xeriscaping plants for mass and color in roadsides and in avenue center dividers
and now the grasses are sprouting where they were never planted. they look very nice in slight breeze Pennisetum polystachyon Pennisetum polystachyon and Cymbopogon winterianus in the second picture
so my original spelling was incorrect. correct genus spelling is Pennisetum.
species ided by … is Pennisetum polystachyon

Setaria faberi R.A.W.Herrm., introduced tall grass frequently growing profusely in the road sides.
Observed from Electronic city area of Bangalore. Looks more like Pennisetum polystachyon if it a tall grass. Press one of the mature spikelets to see if the upper floret jumps off on its own.
Thanks … for the identity confirmation I thought of Pennisetum pedicellatum . |
