User's notes

A sea of African Lovegrass that grew rapidly during the end-of-year roadside mowing recess. This place has tall form in foreground, short form in background. The short plants have abundant flower/seed heads and probably some of that is mature and, now that the roadside has been mown, has added to a nasty seedbank here.
