i love the sunlit grasses on a black background for crisp clear identification.
would love someone (hint!) to upload a clip of all the main grasses in the uk (say, at least 30-40 species)
dividing them into two groups; coarse invasive grasses unsuitable for flowery meadows and fine-leaved open sward grasses.....(also nice would be a similar clip identifying all the umbellifers of the uk .....a good project for a lock-down me thinks!)
