Take a guess, if you dare
About the owner of this hair.
Might it be a porcupine?
Hardly so, with hair so fine.
Perhaps an exotic unknown dog,
that's crawled out of a faraway bog?
If that's true I stake my claim
on giving this breed a glamorous name.
Imagine if it's a caterpillar?
(I doubt there are any with purple fur.)
Perhaps it's a cat who's been fancy-dyed?
(No cat would let you escape alive.)
Thanks for playing along with zeal.
Now it's time for the big reveal.
This furry plant in my garden's got class.
It's a Red Head beautiful Fountain Grass!

Hi Rosemary
ReplyDeleteNever seen this grass before.....you have made very good pictures of it.
I wish you a nice day,
Grteetings, Joop
It is very hardy grass as it survives our winter with no cover, so, beautiful and strong!
DeleteHa, Ha! Nice grass! I thought that this is a brush for cleaning bottles.
ReplyDeleteToo bad it's so soft, I could use a brush for cleaning my bottles :)
DeleteLove this rhyme and all of the pictures you take. They make everything, even the smallest things we might overlook in nature, come out so beautifully! So glad I found your blog. Welcome to mine!
ReplyDeleteBye,
Marian

ReplyDeleteThank you Christina, nice to meet you and thanks for visiting!
DeleteLovely words and great image beautifully captured.
ReplyDeleteThank you Rosemary :)
DeleteIt looks more like a tart-up feather duster up close. Its a good macro.
ReplyDeleteThank you, it's soft enough to be a duster, but would probably leave little purple hairs all over the furniture :)
DeleteYou almost got me Rosemary!
ReplyDeleteA brush in a garden? LOL!
I'm sure Nature has her own reasons for this creation, which I will never be able to guess!
DeleteIt is a lovely and beautiful creation, no doubt.
DeleteThe color is so gorgeous!
What we have here is similar but white in color.
And it sticks to the skirt or jeans as we walk by it :(
Hello Rosemary!
ReplyDeletePhotos grasses are beautiful. I love most of all nature.
Lovely poem.
In you there is always so beautiful.

This is the only grass I have, so far, I'd love to have many more but they need a lot of room. Thank you for liking my little poem :)
DeleteIsn't this grass a treat? It's one of the last performers of the cold temps. Again, you've taken a common plant and made it shine. Beautiful!
