It’s hard to collect flowers for IAVOM when one has no garden. So I’m left to keep a keen eye out for potential items when I am walking the grounds during my daily exercise. Social distancing or no, garden or no, I can still scavenge. Today a few grasses growing wild along the edge of the parking lot caught my eye. In just a small area I found what I consider quite attractive grasses just before their seeds will ripen and spread around our community.
Here is what I put together for In a Vase on Monday:
Closeups of some of the grasses gives an eye to their rarely observed beauty.
I am delighted to join Cathy at Rambling in the Garden for this week’s vase. You will undoubtedly enjoy seeing her vase this week and all the others who follow her meme.
Very creative.

Even if you had a garden full of flowers to choose from, this would probably have beaten them all. They way you have staged them really highlights the variety of forms and colour..thanks for joining us and sharing this vase. It will probably last quite some time too.

They are superb, John! I agree with Noelle above. There’s nothing prettier than grasses (and wild flowers). Carry on walking and posting your sensitively observed results!
