Here are some shots of some grass seeds that I am thinking of planting. The mother plant is a Stipa barbatos. NOT A NATIVE, but it's beauty just slays me. I have never seen seeds this long. The wind did such amazing things with it. I took a trip and it had a near death experience because no one watered it while I was gone 2 weeks. I am not naming names. I did manage to collect some seeds that have been in an arrangement indoors. I am thinking of planting some seed.,but I am unsure weather to lay it flat or stab it in the dirt like a dart. Notice the amazing structure and scale of the seed. The seed part is about an inch, sometimes over! Behind that there is 4" of twisted shaft that untwists when wet nd drills the seed into the ground. Maybe I should do one stabbed in the dirt just barely and then watch it. Anyone have experience with this kind of seed? Some of our natives are the same . Thoughts anyone?
