| I am sure you have done this once or twice. You go to the grocery store for just a couple of things and come out with items that you had never even thought about. Well, I did this the other morning. I was going to the "Loblaws Superstore" for some items I needed and before I even got in the doors I came upon a cart of grasses. I have plenty of grasses but this one I did not have. It is Pennisetum alopecuroides 'Hameln'. It is so cute with those little fuzzy plumes. I just had to have it. This is decribed as a deciduous companct form of fountain grass. Buff coloured bloom panicles arch and appear from August through October. Golden russet colour to the foliage in the fall. Drought tolerant. Zone 5-9. Now I just have to find a good spot to plant him.

I have that grass and it is sooo cute. Great shot. Take care.
Great photo! You're going to like 'Hameln' it is a great plant here in my Z4 garden.
That is a nice grass, and it's true - I've also discovered little cuties for the garden while at the grocery store:)
Great shot. I've never thought of grass a cute; lush, green, soft, never cute. Those darn grocers; they'll get you every time.
That's a great capture of the grass!!
Great photo! Hope it thrives in your garden.
lovely grass looks so soft, great SOOC

I am going to use more ornamental grasses in my flower bed next year, they all look so pretty. This one is a real beauty.
I love ornamental grasses and this is lovely!
I can empathize with your "but I didn't have this one" response in the garden area. I find myself doing that too. Also, to answer you question about my mint, I've killed mint before, although none of my gardening friends can figure out how!
I can see how you couldn't resist it. Lovely photo.
This is beautiful.
