bilby Well done skip. We have some wonderful grasses in Australia but often no common names as they were already outdone by exotic weeds by the time settlers and nomenclature arrived. Hence we have names for pests like gamba grass and buffel grass, nothing for the natives :-( Jun 23, 2008
skipvia Treeseed--it was my original intention not to include sedges, but what the heck? It's a public list, so please feel free... Feb 12, 2008
treeseed Are you including sedges on this list? Feb 12, 2008
reesetee You're right. That's just weird(net). Feb 12, 2008
skipvia John's new image search feature is particularly informative and entertaining for most of the words on this list. See rattlesnake grass, for instance. For an example of a WeirdNET-worthy non sequitur, though, see prairie satin. Feb 12, 2008
reesetee What a beautiful list! Thanks, s! Feb 12, 2008
skipvia I have, Treeseed. It was a cathartic experience for me--one of those times that you look at something in a completely different and transforming way. It's not just grass... Feb 12, 2008
treeseed I love this list! With your interest in these grasses I assume you have stood upon the tallgrass prairie...it is an unforgettable experience. Feb 12, 2008
