The greater quaking grasses that were green in mid-May are now glossy golden and do look like koban (old Japanese oval gold coin) as their Japanese name suggests😃

5月半ばは緑色だったコバンソウが艶やかな黄金色に変わり、たしかに小判ぽくなっていた。

The annual quaking grass, Briza maxima, has self seeded into Verbena officinalis 'Bampton'. Another happy accident in my mind!

We don't normally sell annuals but do have a few of the Briza at the moment.
