Last week’s Wildflower hour challenge was to find and identify as many as possible of the myriad grass species we have growing here in Britain.

I got involved, half-heartedly: I spent an enjoyable few hours wandering some of the local meadows, keeping an eye out for grass species that looked new and/or different.

And I took a lot of photos, many of them out of focus as the breeze caught the grasses just as I was clicking the shutter, though that created its own kind of magic.

Being busy with other things (that’s my excuse anyway!), I didn’t make the effort to identify my grasses, though I certainly enjoyed their diversity of shape and form.
