Re: [SG] Ornamental grasses

Clyde, m' dear....picky, picky, picky.  In the first place, I don't
consider myself an "expert" in anything except being behind on my email.
But, since you ask, that's why I put the word "grasses" in quotation marks.
 Figured the  members of this list, who are all of above average
intelligence, would get my drift.

Now that you've elected to make a big point of it, I'm sure everyone knows
what I meant.  The horticultural world thanks you for your concern with
precision in terminology.
