there are lots of grass species aren't there? When I was at uni we had to use the grasses of Gt Britain guide by a chap called Hubbard. Over 100 native species in the UK.

Then there are all the sedges and rushes too that are very grass like.

Interesting how each type of grass grow in a very specific location. I never see them co-mingled. My favorite is the last 2 photos with the feathery tops.

LOVELY GRASSES. LOOKS LIKE THEY'VE DONE A PLANTING SESSION ON THE BEACH.

Yes a new planting - let's see what's left of it after the Summer crowd leaves in September.

I SUPPOSE THEY DO THAT TO STABILISE THE SAND ON THE BEACH.
