two soft yellow grasses - used along the path and creek bed. Fan-shaped golden variegated sweet flag (Acorus gramineus 'Ogon') is an evergreen grass that will tolerate exceptionally wet conditions — even standing water. Seen in the foreground, it has blades much stiffer than those of its partner here, Japanese forest grass. The soft mounds of Japanese forest grass (Hakonechloa macra 'Aureola'), seen behind the sweet flag, are the perfect contrast to the taller Rodger's flower, forming a gentle golden waterfall that begs to be touched.
