I'm not sure if there already is a thread of the beautiful colours of Autumn as opposed to specific plants if so I apologise and feel free to move this.

These are some lovely colours I captured over the weekend in Carlow visiting my Daughter Jenny and Family. i221.photobucket.com/albums/dd161/GWDAdmin1/Smilies/Default/smiley.gif

There are a couple of plants here which I'll be asking Son in law to split and share. i221.photobucket.com/albums/dd161/GWDAdmin1/Smilies/Default/grin.gif

Go placidly amidst the noise and the haste, and remember what peace there may be in silence.

It's very hardy and comes every year, tall, about 3 feet or more. Oh and it must like clay soils.

It is a miscanthus sinensis of some sort. There are lots of different ones available, I have 'flamingo' which is a pale pink to start with. That one could be Malepartus

I love them when the wind blows, and they turn a lovely beige colour as they fade to seed.

I think the last one is a miscanthus too as I have one in my garden, it's never looked as good as that one though . Jillyx

Thanks Tig. I thought it might be a miscanthus - I bought flamingo after seeing it on your garden thread. i221.photobucket.com/albums/dd161/GWDAdmin1/Smilies/Default/smiley.gif
