We pass through Redding several times a year (my in-laws live in Mount Shasta, an hour north of Redding) and often stop at the Sundial Bridge. It's "just" a foot bridge, but that makes it even more exciting because you get to explore it up close.Gerhard Bock (Succulents and More)https://www.blogger.com/profile/17583583634141549759noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1615100786320943903.post-14220118351918463292010-12-29T10:32:02.681-08:002010-12-29T10:32:02.681-08:00I'm a big fan of Calatrava's but yet to se...I'm a big fan of Calatrava's but yet to see his bridge to the North.<br />I went all the way to Valencia, Spain, however, to see his work on the City of Arts & Sciences and Turia Gardens!!<br />All best for 2011,<br />Alice<br />aka Alice's Garden Travel BuzzBay Area Tendrilshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02559534912850380427noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1615100786320943903.post-3175605285777523902010-12-28T12:03:24.889-08:002010-12-28T12:03:24.889-08:00That explains why every photo has the long stalks ...That explains why every photo has the long stalks but no apparent seed heads -- I thought they just hadn't emerged yet.

They sell them everywhere. <br /><br />The seed heads aren't prominent the way they are with pennisetum or miscanthus. All you really see are the taller stalks that are quite rigid--I guess that's where the species name "rigens" comes from. The seeds are along the sides of those rigid stalks. <br /><br />Here is a good photo (I quite like the way deer grass looks in a container):<br /><br />http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_kx3phKU8I2Q/SuiDFgQLsSI/AAAAAAAAAU8/eevJOysBROI/s1600-h/cornerstone+rust+planters.JPGGerhard Bock (Succulents and More)https://www.blogger.com/profile/17583583634141549759noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1615100786320943903.post-46376640315718362010-12-28T08:05:39.667-08:002010-12-28T08:05:39.667-08:00This comment has been removed by the author.Gerhard Bock (Succulents and More)https://www.blogger.com/profile/17583583634141549759noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1615100786320943903.post-23586912039466982482010-12-28T07:02:17.762-08:002010-12-28T07:02:17.762-08:00I may have to give this one a try, although I'...I may have to give this one a try, although I'd be pushing the hardiness limits, and am concerned about winter wetness. Looks worth trying though. Are the seed heads "loose" like a feather grass, or more like a pennisetum's? I can't find good photos.Alanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13393082652312828458noreply@blogger.com
