An ornamental grass


A couple of days ago, on 19 September 2015, I went to an Open House at the home of our main leader for both birding and botany. This was to mark the end of the botany season, which is always sad. We went on one last walk, around the neighbourhood, stopping to look at various plants in people's gardens, and then went back for tea and coffee and yummy snacks. This photo is of an ornamental grass seen in one of the gardens - I don't know its name, but it was quite attractive.
I suspect the mushroom season is over, too, as I went to Brown-Lowery Provincial Park yesterday afternoon. The grasses and plants have withered and, along with fallen leaves from the deciduous trees, have covered anything that might just be hiding underneath. The very few fungi that I did see were mostly old and definitely not photogenic, though I did post a photo of one of them today. Most of my photos came out blurry, too. I didn't see many birds on this drive, either, not a single raptor, and mainly Magpies. Can't wait for next spring!!
