The Beautiful Purple Love Grass Makes a Colorful Mist

The Beautiful Purple Love Grass Makes a Colorful Mist explains to readers why purple lovegrass is one of the author’s favorites. It also shows readers an artistically styled image of the beautiful flowering grass.

Single Stalk Late summer and fall are flowering and seeding times for many grasses. One of my favorites is purple love grass (Eragrostis spectabilis) due to brilliant reddish purple flowers.

Most people overlook grass. Some are allergic to it, most don’t think it’s particularly pretty, and they certainly don’t want it going to seed in their yard.

It’s the end of the Silky Season, and Silky Dan was blessed to get one last sight of what he loves best.

I snapped some shots of him as he spent a peaceful moment of admiration with the fluffy seeds. When he was finished, he helped blow some up into the wind, hoping to see them growing in the area next spring. ❤

Nandina berries. I love the reflections in the water drops.

Six on Saturday – Winter Color – November 30, 2019

Almost all the leaves are down from the trees, with the exception of one large maple. I’ll wait a little while and then call my garden guy who will climb on the roof and blow out the gutters. Then he’ll blow the worst of the downed leaves out from the garden beds. I don’t mind some as a winter blanket of insulation.

The leaves have fallen from the ninebark by the lattice, from the crepe myrtles…
