Grasses are indeed something needing more attention – they are outstandingly beautiful. Imagine your world without them – how empty it would be, lifeless and dull. When you see the wind blowing through thick grass, the sea has gone ashore…
Here are some of my favourite grasses – the first one , name unknown to me, but glorious in the late summer evenings at our summer house. And then wavy hair-grass and lastly Briza media or Quaking grass.
Thank you, Ailsa, for another inspiring theme!
Along the path where my Mille used to gallop every day, hundreds of times, down to his beloved place by the sea – grows wavy hair-grass. How well didn’t this name of grass fit them both! In Swedish as well, because it is called kruståtel, where ”krusig” means ”curly”.
My absolute favourite of all grasses is the Quaking grass – and as always when you are greatly loved, you have many names. (At least that is a saying in Sweden!)
Common names in English includes Quaking-grass, Cow-quake, Didder, Dithering-grass, Dodder-grass, Doddering Dillies, Doddle-grass, Earthquakes, Jiggle-joggles, Jockey-grass, Lady’s-hair, Maidenhair-grass, Pearl Grass, Quakers, Quakers-and-shakers, Shaking-grass, Tottergrass, Wag-wantons.
In Sweden we have bävergräs, dallergräs, darrgräs, frostagräl, skälvgräs, hjärtgräs.

Grasses are underestimated…!
Love that top photo.
I’m glad you do – my favourite grass.
Beautiful photos, Ann Christine. The lighting is perfect in all of them. 🙂
Thank you! One of my soft spots – having the light in front instead of behind…
Reblogga detta på Myblog's Blog.
Lovely photos, lovely names.
Leah that Qualing grass is so beautiful.
Thank you – my favourite too!
Love the first image, and your roll-call of names for quaking grass is most impressive! 🙂
Loved ones have many names…
I like that expression!
Love this series of grass! So beautiful!! 🙂
Grass – love ♥
Awesome specially one that looks like Bees flying
The first one? That is the Quaking grass flowering!
Couldn’t agree more. Grass really need more attention for it’s beauty and my favourite is (of course) darrgräset since that is my favourite grass. Lovely photos as always Ann-Christine
Thank you, Lena. We share that love.
Jättefina bilder, det är så vackert med gräs och speciellt det sista darrgräset är något av min favorit 🙂 jag var för några dagar sedan i ett naturreservat utanför Ödeshög och när jag kom hem och tittade igenom bilderna på datorn så gjorde mitt hjärta ett glädjeskutt för på nästan alla blombilder fanns darrgräset med 😀
Kul att du också tycker om detta gräs. Tyvärr sällsynt hos oss i Skåne, åtminstone där jag bor. I Schweiz fanns det mycket av det – till min stora glädje!
