Jeff's favorite addition to the yard this year has been the Mexican Feather Grass we added in the front yard around our live oak tree. Mexican Feather Grass, or pony tail grass as it is sometimes called, starts out as a soft, thin, green grass. As it matures, the grass takes on a golden wheat color. Our little people love to touch it as they walk past it - it really has a way of drawing them in to appreciate it.
So much of our garden landscaping is fixed in one place. The wind tosses this grass around in the most graceful manner, giving the landscape a beautiful sense of movement. I think what I love about it is how much it reminds me of the grasses that grew on the sand dunes at the beaches in Northwest Florida where we grew up.
