RE: ornamental grass/bamboo

Kitty, pictures can't do this grass justice.  Just wait until it blooms
and the sun shines through it.  Amazingly beautiful!  I can't wait to
hear what you think of it.

I've wanted to grow Muhlenbergia for a long time.  When I finally
ordered it, it got cancelled.  This year I ordered M. capillaris, Gulf
Muhly Grass, for our ornamental Grass garden and it's looking good.  I
also ordered a couple for myself from another (cheaper) supplier that
haven't arrived yet. I hope they are as nice as the pictures.
