Positively Pretty Pampas Grass

This Pampas Grass is in Alton Baker Park. Here the morning sun was shining on the on the flowers and gave them a golden tone. I thought the red bush in the background set the flowers off well.

"Cortaderia selloana, commonly known as pampas grass, is a flowering plant native to southern South America, including the Pampas after which it is named. It is a tall grass, growing in dense tussocks that can reach a height of 3 m. The leaves are long and slender, 1–2 m long, and 1 cm broad, with very sharp edges. The leaves are usually bluish-green, but can be silvery grey. The flowers are produced in a dense white panicle 20–40 cm long on a 2–3 m tall stem."

Beautiful lighting and a fine composition. The pampas grass is accented beautifully by the red foliage in the BG. Nice one, Vern. Vote.

The color and details are excellent! A beautiful composition. We have had these in our yard but they grow big and become unmanageable. Voted for your creative touch.
