...imported plants can often become problems.

Interesting! Such a small difference between the two plants. Well spotted!

Hello Betty,
I 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

My 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.

That 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.

Pretty. They're ornamental, right? I'm pretty sure I saw those two types of grass in an arts fair.

These grass can be found growing wild in some places. We used these for flower arrangements. Have a great day.

How interesting! A New Zealand writer mentioned toi-toi in an online presentation yesterday and i wondered what it looked like! Now I know!

Little Wandering Wren said...

The 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?
Thanks for hosting Betty.

Jill Harrison said...

the pampus grass was popular here one time as a garden plant, but is such a pest here. Probably in NZ too!

Linda said...
