Have a great evening everyone =)
I will be traveling a lot this month and part of next so for a little while I will only have time to visit those that comment on my photos.
I didn't finish visiting everyone that commented on my photo yesterday but I will now. I had to get some sleep today; we had such a great time away but this little grandmama is on the tired side.

城市植物
以前，我從未見過在城市種植紫葉狼尾草。
這樣的植物適合用作動物食物，它也具有觀賞價值！
台灣在植物改良方面成績斐然，紫葉狼尾草已成功改進，
已經開發出六個具有不同特徵的新品種，
它可用作牛，羊和寵物的飼料，萃取後，可以製成保健食品供人食用。
謝謝您的訪問，祝假期愉快！

Pennisetum is a widespread genus of plants in the grass family, native to tropical and warm temperate regions of the world. They are known commonly as fountaingrasses (fountain grasses). As currently envisioned, Pennisetum is a genus of 80 to 140 species. The various species are native to Africa, Asia, Australia, and Latin America, with some of them widely naturalized in Europe and North America, as well as on various oceanic islands. They are annual or perennial grasses. Some are petite while others can produce stems up to 8 meters tall. The inflorescence is a very dense, narrow panicle containing fascicles of spikelets interspersed with bristles. There are three kinds of bristle, and some species have all three, while others do not. Some bristles are coated in hairs, sometimes long, showy, plumelike hairs that inspired the genus name, the Latin penna (feather) and seta (bristle). 35020
