It was raining that night when I was home in our farm one weekend. Upon waking up I went out to see anything which might be attractive for the camera. It is always very refreshing outside the house after the rain, feels so relaxing and comforting than in the big city, where air pollution makes so much difference.
The grasses are in their flowering stage now. In one or two months, these will mature and seeds will be dispersed by the winds. All photos here are from the wild and not from the garden.
Imperata cylindrica or cogon in the vernacular. This is not flowering yet but in summer months or dry season
I love this but I don't know its name
Saccharum spontaneum or talahib in vernacular. The white flowers are borne on long slender stalks.
The fruiting structures above stick to clothes that touch it to ensure dispersal.
Napier grasses for feeds of cattle and horses
Amorseko or love grass in Mt Gulugod Baboy

Some nice grass photos. One thing I don't really have here or room for either, but I do like them.

I love viewing the graceful grasses depicted in photos. Grass background scenery was the backdrop for my wedding photos. In my case, the photographers used brooms to create this effect but the picture turned out to be very romantic. Great shots, Andrea!
ReplyDeleteThe grass in the first one resembles my lemon grass. Clifford likes to chew them.
ReplyDeleteLove the last 2 photos; one golden and the other, for its lovely curves.
Those are really beautiful..I have some grasses here and I love them..Michelledi
ReplyDeletebeautiful grasses. i love them. i once planted grass from seeds i bought from the nursery and turned out well.
ReplyDeleteThese are what I called simple beauties..Gorgeous shots!
ReplyDeleteI love the image of the Amorseko grass. If I spelled that right! All the grasses are lovely and look like they grow incredibly well.
ReplyDeleteBeautiful grasses. Thanks for giving the names of so many!
ReplyDeleteI remember when I was a little kid, my mama would cut some amorseko for my ear lobes.
ReplyDeleteSalamat sa pag dalaw! Magandang Martes.
Nice meeting you Andrea. My daughter and I love to take road trips and photograph nature and landscape. I am glad you enjoy our travels and adventure.
ReplyDeletei love the slope of Mt Galugod Baboy---it's a funny name, and our photos of wild grasses. my mom says that when talahib is flowering, people get sick, especially those with asthma and allergies.
ReplyDeleteAndrea,
ReplyDeleteWhat amazing photos of the different grasses in your area! I liked the love grass the best, I think, those those fuzzy caterpillar ones are favorites of mine as well. Thanks for coming by to visit my blog. Yes, the plant on my header is a magnolia! The photo was taken just a month ago in Georgia, USA I think during our trip. The skin of the fruit is soft and fuzzy and pink in this stage and I love it! Take care--
Marie

ReplyDeleteSo beautifully documented grasses. It always amazes me how diverse nature is.
ReplyDeleteThat 'Love Grass' is just stunning. I love heading out to the garden after a nice rain. Everything seems to take on a different look and feel, through the camera.
ReplyDeleteTyle różnych traw na tej górze ? Mnie się też podoba ta, której nazwy nie znasz. Pozdrawiam ciepło

I love the picture of the tall grass next to a palm tree. We don't have palms here except maybe indoors. I feel warm just looking at it - lovely
