I thought it would be fun to post some grasses and sedges just to see how many different types there are. I don't know the names of any of them, but at least I can tell them apart 
Carex sp --- First two pictures are of a species of sedge. I have the name floating around somewhere, just don't recall it or where I wrote it.
Rest are 6 different species of grasses all in bloom. I have counted at least 4 more species in bloom while driving on the expressway. Can't really stop for pictures though. It's cool to see the variety.

Thanks for looking and commenting Nenella. I counted I have posted the pics of over 150 plants from this spring. Does that qualify as botanizing?

I'm not qualified to answer that question, but if not I would suggest it is at the very least a definite sign of dedication!
Question is, will you start a Summer Blooms thread? |
