The face of someone who just pulled every muscle in his body lugging himself up a very big hill to find a grass...
Mind you, that grass was Alpine Foxtail (Alopecurus magellanicus) 😍 @bsbibotany.bsky.social

Early August 2025 and two very cool montane grasses on the slopes below Glas Maol, in the Aberdeenshire/Angus borderlands. Alpine Foxtail Alopecurus magellanicus and Alpine Cat's-tail Phleum alpinum. I had a very pleasant day in their company. @bsbibotany.bsky.social

If you know, you know… Bend the inflorescence of Orange Foxtail (Alopecurus aequalis) over and check that there really are no awns.
A really nice thing to find in the drawdown zone of a pond.

GRASSES HAVE FLOWERS TOO!! Have you really ever looked close at a grass? You might notice they have beautiful but small flowers with what you normally expect from angiosperms like anthers, stigmas and ovaries! Check out this beautiful Alopecurus saccatus (Pacific Foxtail)
