Re: Ornamental grass/bamboo

Since I don't have access, I'm not sure what part of the common name, Gulf
Coast Muhly Grass, appears to be misleading.  All I know is that the pics
I've seen at PDN of Muhlenbergia capillaris make me want it, especially
those red tips.

I may try to look at it tonight, but from the time I get off work tonight
until late Saturday I'm going to be pretty busy.  Like Marty, our MG plant
sale is Saturday and there is lots to do.

I am working on internet access here; an awkward combination of 2 computers.
