I love to look out into the backyard in the fall and see our beautiful grasses coming to life! Unlike most plants in the garden, grasses don't look their best until mid-summer and my favorite look is in the fall when you start to see plumes coming on (here in Utah it's the first of September). These make a beautiful arrangement for "indoors"! Cut them when they are green or after they have turned brown and use them again and again each year. You can cut grasses like Silver Grass early or wait until they have opened up a little for the more fuzzy look or combine several different varieties to a fun look. Here is photo of the grasses in my yard today and a fresh cut arrangement I made this morning. Below that, are a few more that I made last fall and pulled out today to place in some more vases.
