I won't overwhelm you with words.
Pictures will speak for themselves.
I want to recommend a very special nursery for you to visit in the Pacific Northwest -
Far Reaches Farm in Port Townsend.
The pictures were taken in September 2012. If September was so mesmerizing there,
can you imagine how it looks in the prime of the season?
The plant inventory is brain shaking and ever changing, and their e-mail letter is enlightening, full of plant information and very entertaining.
Here are the Far Reaches Facebook Page
and their outstanding Website , including a Plant List and ordering information for those who can't visit the place personally.

Japanese Blood Grass (Imperata cylindrica)
