Pampas grass (Cortaderia selloana) is a popular ornamental grass with white plumes that add a striking visual appeal to gardens and landscapes. The feathery white flowers are particularly eye-catching and can create a dramatic contrast in the garden.
To dry pampas grass plumes, hang them upside down in a warm, dry place with good air circulation. Make sure they are not in direct sunlight to prevent fading. It can take about 1-2 weeks for the plumes to fully dry.
Bamboo, specifically giant bamboos are the tallest in the grass family.
Grasses is a word; it is the plural of grass. It is used when talking about: * a group of grass plants: " The grasses in the front garden bed were very ornamental in a breeze." * several types of grass: " The landscaper loaded the truck with the right grasses for the job."
Prairie grass and pampas grass are not the same, although they share some similarities as types of grass found in large open areas. Prairie grass refers to the diverse grasses native to North American prairies, while pampas grass is native to South America, specifically the Pampas region. Pampas grass is known for its tall, feathery flower plumes, which differ from the more varied species of grasses found in prairies. Each type of grass has distinct ecological roles and characteristics suited to their respective environments.
Plumes do not occur in areas where there is no significant heat source beneath the Earth's surface. Plumes are typically associated with volcanic activity, so they would not occur in regions that are not geologically active.

Ornamental grasses can provide shelter and hiding places for snakes, which may make them more likely to be found in areas with dense grass. However, the grasses themselves do not specifically attract snakes; rather, it's the habitat they create that can support their presence. Maintaining a well-groomed landscape can help reduce the likelihood of snakes taking up residence in ornamental grass areas.
