I love this list! With your interest in these grasses I assume you have stood upon the tallgrass prairie...it is an unforgettable experience.

I have, Treeseed. It was a cathartic experience for me--one of those times that you look at something in a completely different and transforming way. It's not just grass...

John's new image search feature is particularly informative and entertaining for most of the words on this list. See rattlesnake grass, for instance. For an example of a WeirdNET-worthy non sequitur, though, see prairie satin.

You're right. That's just weird(net).

Are you including sedges on this list?

Treeseed--it was my original intention not to include sedges, but what the heck? It's a public list, so please feel free...

Well done skip. We have some wonderful grasses in Australia but often no common names as they were already outdone by exotic weeds by the time settlers and nomenclature arrived. Hence we have names for pests like gamba grass and buffel grass, nothing for the natives :-(
