Last Saturday I went for a walk in the other part of the hill . I wanted to see if the pink grass shown so beautifully by Frances was still there growing wild. Unfortunately, all those areas are built up. But I did find something else- the golden heads of the Fountain Grass swaying in the breeze.
This wild Fountain grass
Pennisetum setaceum has golden heads unlike its cousin
P.rubrum, which has copper leaves and maroon heads. It is about 5 feet tall. The soil on the hill gets leached during the rains so that only grasses and some drought resistant palms grow wild there.
It was a beautiful experirnce for me seeing the wild grass swaying in the breeze. I wonder how long it will be there , considering the thirst for space in Bangalore.
