Those feathery, delicate flowers floating over the feather reed grasses are now artistic, pencil-thin spikes that sway in the slightest breeze. The plants’ appearance is now a lot more architectural, but with a loss of lushness and spring softness.
This is what the grasses looked like on June ninth, only two short weeks ago. The flowers began their transformation with the start of hot weather, around June 14th, and all the flowers were in pencil form by June 20th or so.
