I love these,Annella..still contemplating about getting one..it would look good in my long border..I'm getting a bit bored with some things there..maybe time for a change :o)

Just becareful of your hands if you do Bloomer, the leaves can be razor sharp.. I speak from experience! lol.. These are such wonderful looking plants Annella and this is lovely. Had to remove my one because it became such a monster, but strangely enough I still miss it now and then.. The way the plumes catch the light is breathtaking..They almost glow..\0/x

I agree with above...lovely! I am definitely becoming a grasses convert! p.s. very heavy and prolonged rain on the Costa del Sol :( typical ;) x

It really is the star of the front border at this time of year. Bloomer this one is about 6 years old now and very compact. One I would recommend for smaller gardens.

Oh no Karen.....The rain in Spain!! It's very cold here today but hey it's Friday :o))

There's always a silver lining....and Friday is such a great day isn't it....whatever the weather. Friday is the BEST!

Thank you Annella.I have made a note of it :o)

Me too bloomer, it would be great in my front garden. I had to remove the Stipa Gigantea as it got too sprawly and massive. This looks much tidier.

I'm glad you like it too,Karen..maybe we will have pics like this,to show someday :o)

It is small compared to the old fashioned pampas grass girls but it puts on the same show with beautiful gold/white striped leaves that look good all year :o))

26 Oct, 2012

 

Sounds even better :o)

It's the one to have as a small statement grass Bloomer

26 Oct, 2012

 

Well,I'm up for making a statement..in the garden,not the police station :o)))

26 Oct, 2012

26 Oct, 2012

26 Oct, 2012

 

Bloomin' southerners Lol, well that's how it seems on here we are all too far away...but you have met Gattina and Northampton is not as far away as Italy so I am in with a chance xxx

26 Oct, 2012

 

You could always move nearer,Annie,.it's lovely "oop North" Lol.xxx

26 Oct, 2012

 

Yes, why don't you move up north Annie? You'd get much more garden for your dosh! ;0)

I like the effect of the red car showing through behind the fronds!!

28 Oct, 2012

 

Annella is very good at colour co-ordinating,Shirl ! :o))

The shape of your house looks just like ours Annella, except that we have only one window where you have two & ours is built in stone. It's pretty old about 1924 I think.
