First full year for this new border, which I made last year. But, everything is so slow to flower this year.
Everything grown from seed. The fluffy, bright globules are #Stipa tenuissima ‘Pony Tails’.

Stipa tenacissima (#esparto grass) #resprouts very well after #fire; I wonder why there are a few individuals that fail to resprout (fire in 2021)
