These grasses began their lives with tons of chlorophyll in their leaves this spring. They showed their backbones by staying green in the stifling 100-degree days of summer. As they began maturing their seeds were collected to be used to reseed areas that need restoration.
As the summer days turned into fall, these grasses put on a color show from golden tan to deep red-bronzes. While not maples or oaks towering over you as they turn their leaves all sorts of colors, these grasses have their own color show. You just have to get down on their level to appreciate all their hard efforts of living. My only regret this year is that I did not gather large bunches of each of them in all their phases of growth and photograph them in their combined splendor.
These are my observations of Texas fall grasses.






This is so great! I love the grass photos! They are so detailed and beautiful! Grass is so under appreciated! Thanks for giving these species a spotlight!
