There is something so beautiful about tall grasses!
ReplyDeleteThey look like cousins. Have a good week, nic
ReplyDelete...imported plants can often become problems.
ReplyDeleteInteresting! Such a small difference between the two plants. Well spotted!
ReplyDeleteHello Betty,
ReplyDeleteI once made myself smart and saw that Toi-Toi is and now I know more. Thank you very much.
A very nice photo I like the comparison.
Greetings Eva
I could never get Pampas to grow.
ReplyDeleteThank you for hosting, Betty.
What a beautiful photo!
ReplyDeleteMy mom grew pompas grass in Arizona - I don't know if was native or imported. I think it's beautiful. The plumes last for a long time. She used to cut them and put them in a vase with food coloring and the white plumes would turn color.
ReplyDeleteThat Pampas grass is planted here as an ornamental and can escape to the environment out competing local plants. One must be very careful with this grass.
ReplyDeleteThank you for hosting... and always your stopping by with a nice comment.
ReplyDeleteStay healthy and well, dear blogfriend.
We have issues with invasive grasses here too. You made it into a beautiful photo!
ReplyDeleteAloha and thanks!
ReplyDeleteThose toi toi blooms give me hayfever.
ReplyDeleteThose are some beautiful grasses!
ReplyDeleteSuch a beautiful pic. Very nice. Thanks for hosting and I hope that you have a wonderful week.
ReplyDeleteThat is such a simple yet comforting and uplifting shot. Glorious!
ReplyDeleteYou capture beauty everywhere, Betty! And in every form!
ReplyDeleteHappy Wednesday!
Pretty. They're ornamental, right? I'm pretty sure I saw those two types of grass in an arts fair.
ReplyDeleteSo beautiful, Loved the click.
ReplyDeleteThese grass can be found growing wild in some places. We used these for flower arrangements. Have a great day.
ReplyDeleteHow interesting! A New Zealand writer mentioned toi-toi in an online presentation yesterday and i wondered what it looked like! Now I know!
ReplyDeleteThe tall grasses are always so delicate blowing in the wind, it's good to see the native and imported side by side, is that in your garden?
ReplyDeleteThanks for hosting Betty.

Still picturesque.
ReplyDeleteHave a nice week, Betty!
They are both beautiful, Betty, but I prefer the NZ native.
ReplyDeletePS: Thanks for hosting, Betty!
ReplyDeleteYou showing us these is an absolutely warm and sunny reminder of what's yet to come in this corner of the world, Betty! Again...thank YOU...jp
ReplyDeleteStrange and mottled herbs! ☺ It looks like our reeds.
ReplyDeleteHappy Wordless Wednesday, dear Betty!
I love these kind of fluffy grass!
ReplyDeleteBeautiful photo!
Happy WW and thank you for the linking!
Lovely!
ReplyDeletethe pampus grass was popular here one time as a garden plant, but is such a pest here. Probably in NZ too!
ReplyDeleteVery pretty grasses.
