winds of change

apparently, we are suppose to love ornamental pampas grasses, and hate these phragmites. they look very similar, and it’s often hard to tell them apart. neither are native to my bioregion. pamas are grasses. and phragmites are reeds. but that’s not why we love one and not the other. as best i can tell, we hate phragmites because they are invasive. whereas pampas grasses are well behaved, and stay where they were planted. i think both are beautiful.
