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.

Thought they looked like some kind of insect pupas hanging😆
#QuakingGrass/ #RattlesnakeGrass, or Kobansou in Japanese which means ‘koban (old Japanese oval gold coin) grass' - Another interesting naming difference🌿😊

何かの虫のサナギがぶら下がってるみたいと思ったw
揺れる草／ガラガラヘビ草という意味の英名と #コバンソウ( #小判草 )という和名、これまた面白い呼び名の違い。
