All of you can pick up your bales. 😉 Let me solve the materials-not-products question: 1. wood wool board - wood wool shavings - caustic magnesia 2. Miscanthus mat - miscanthus straw - sisal rope 3. Wood fibre board (wet production) - wood fibre - fossil glue - flame retardant 4. Solid wood

We're swinging our torches about with me pointing out the various places I want to put lights. The shadows of the miscanthus loom and recede alarmingly. You really cannot see what's in half the purgola, because of the huge end of season plants, all of which have big tropical foliage.

The best bit of the night was me asking him about illuminating the pergola. We went out there. In the dark. It's essentially a massive cage (but very pretty) and at the moment the miscanthus (huge grass) is flowering and is absolutely COLOSSAL. It's literally a jungle out there.

The pergola, a bright place of tropical plants, all caged in with 2 inch galvanised steel grid. It is pictured during the day, when everything is very tidy and the miscanthus is small and twee. It isn't like that right now.

Do any gardeners out there have experience with cutting back Miscanthus sinensis ‘Gracillimus’ aka Chinese Maiden Grass? Mine has become so exuberant that it swallowed its companion flowers and is blocking my path to the spigot. Wondering how to prune without disfiguring the overall shape.

Miscanthus sinensis ‘Gracillimus’ a five foot tall ornamental grass made of many slender, sharp edged blades.

Susuki or silver grass (Miscanthus sinensis) and cloudy sky by Yachiho Lake. Usually, we associate susuki with autumn, but the weather is still summer. It’s strange to be feeling the high humidity and heat as you’re seeing the “silver” blooming. 八千穂レイク湖畔のススキと曇り空。

Field of silver grass. The sky is grey and cloudy. The grass has golden plume that turns platinum blonde.
