Zebra grass

Happy sunday,

I have this massive wonderful zebra bush in my yard.

Upon cutting it back a few years ago, I found that they

dry into these amazing plumes. 

Up close it looks like this, with little light green stripes.

You can see the "grass" that grows from the leaves,

they are very silky. 

Here is what they look like cut, they almost have a pink tone to them,

but after just two days they dry out and turn into.....

THIS!

beautiful plumes in a more taupe color!

Now, go find a zebra bush or if you have one,

cut the plumes and let them dry.

These are so pretty for the fall season.
