Fakahatchee Grass

10/7/2012 Volunteer Park, Plantation

10/7/2012 Volunteer Park, Plantation

Eastern Gamagrass / Fakahatchee Grass = Tripsacum dactyloides
Family: Poaceae

Up to 6" tall with long blade leaves.

ある日、花が目に付いて・・・・そうじゃなければただ通り過ぎてしまう草。
背丈に届きそうな大きなブッシュです。
花は黄色からオレンジ、古くなって茶色。テグスのような透明の糸で
ぶら下がり、風に揺れているのがたまらなく魅力的です。

I thought I found the seeds (above)

But the next day, I saw the exact same branch 
and the flower was coming out of it,
so it was not a seed, but a Bud...?
