I decided to try snipping some dried grass for today’s vase. I could have gone with violas yet again, but I wanted to see what I could do with these dried, wintry trimmings. I’m not sure what kind of grass this is. With all the rain we had during the monsoon season, several different types of grass sprouted vigorously around the yard. The clumping varieties, such as this one, are relatively manageable—at least compared to the Bermuda grass galloping across the dirt and rooting as it goes! I begin to suspect that at one time there was an attempt at a Bermuda grass lawn here.
I really like the shape of this vase, which looks like the kilns in the old pottery factories here in the UK, and the black adds drama to your simple but attractive Monday vase - I have certainly learned to enjoy our winter vases, which make us look harder for things in the garden that we might miss at a more floriferous time of year
Your grass reminds me of Mexican feather grass (Nasella tenuissima) but in their dried state a lot of grasses look alike ;) I think your vase looks great and I'm impressed by the light-box technology.
Beautiful! As Cathy says, the vase looks like an old pottery factory. Beautiful

The light in the photos is very calming and atmospheric Amy… suits the grasses well. 😃
