What is Grass?
Grass is the common name for the Gramineae family of plants. With
more than 9,000 known species, this family is one of the largest
on Earth. Grass is extremely important to most people's lives, whether
they know it or not. For one thing, grass is a major food source
all over the world. Rice, corn and oats come from grass plants,
for example, and most livestock animals feed primarily on grasses.
In some parts of the world, people use grass plants in construction
(bamboo is a grass, for example), and wherever it grows, grass plays
a vital role in curbing erosion.
Grass For Food. Grass is also used to make sugar,
liquor, bread and plastics, among many other things. Grasses have
a very simple structure, and a very simple way of life. You can
better grasp what grass needs when you understand how it actually
functions in the world. At the base of the grass plant, roots grow
down into the earth. Typically, grass roots are fibrous, or threadlike.
They extend into the soil like fingers, collecting nutrients, soaking
up water and securing the plant to the ground.

Grass - Photographed in the Everglades.
The grass photos you see here are all from the Everglades,
photographed in the early morning as this is the time for the grass and plants
to look fresh with the morning dew and the sunlight is at it's softest. So
what color is your green grass. And have you
ever really looked at the wild grass to see it's
colors?
The Florida Everglades.
Often called the beautiful swamp is in all reality a
river of grass that meanders very slowly through
a sub tropical wilderness as flat as a tale top,
there are no rugged mountains or dashing streams
cutting through the landscape. The Everglades is
a place of silent beauty, magnificent serenity
can be found just a few paces off the road a
place where one can get lost in solitude. |
