It looks like my Erianthus ravennae 'Hardy Pampas Grass' is finally showing signs of life. I didn't notice at first because the brown dry blades were all cut the same length when I gave it a winter buzz cut - and then suddenly some of the brown blades were getting taller (with no sign of any green shoots). Then I noticed green actually pushing the brown up and out of an old dry stalk.

This Hardy Pampas Grass has a looooong way to go if it's going to reach 8 to 14 feet tall by the end of summer!
In other news, my 'Northwind' switchgrass got majorly flooded when we had a sudden torrential thunderstorm with downpour. This grass is a winner, so I'm sure it will be fine.
