Miscanthus sinensis cultivars - inflorescence and spikelets


The Frelinghuysen Arboretum  in Morristown,  New Jersey has a nice collection of various species and cultivars of Miscanthus, and I spent one afternoon in September last year taking some macro shots of the grass inflorescence and spikelets.

I was really surprised at the diversity of forms of this outstanding ornamental grass.

Enjoy!
