- Recording of the first webinar as part of our Irish Grasslands Project, supported by NPWS and CEDaR. Expert botanist Fionnuala O'Neill takes us through the key features for identifying grass species. Fionnuala's talk is one hour, followed by Q&A with Fionnuala, Maria Long (Grassland Ecologist with NPWS) and Sarah Pierce (BSBI Ireland Officer). For more on the project, visit bsbi.org/irish-grasslands-project.
That was a very pleasant video, informative, interesting, well paced, well delivered. Most enjoyable way to spend a Sunday morning drinking my cup of coffee. Thanks to Michael Viney column for directing me to your project.
Grasses are part of our DNA and genetic memory, from chewing a stalk , to adolescents lying immersed in it whilst gazing at a summer blue sky, they link the ploughman to the artist. I hope you touch on our heritage related to grasses in future webinars. No doubt you will as ye seem to be on the ball. Very refreshing to hear ye talk with such passion and broad science and practical respect for human-grass relationship.
I re-wilded 3 acres 20 years ago , fenced off and left to its own devices ever since, I look forward to understanding more of what has evolved there. Sad to see the BSBI only have 90 subs, I thought Saint Greta sent a memo to all the millenials that the earths biodiversity was endangered.
Thoroughly enjoyable webinar from beginning to end. Who knew grasses could be so interesting and diverse...
I can’t wait to start looking for hairy knees and purple pajamas the next time I’m home in West Cork - in grasses, that is...
How are you doing today Monica Boyle? It's really nice having you on here...I saw your profile on here and i think we definitely are on the same page on many Levels. Trust, Communication, Loving, Honoring, Understanding, Patience and Respecting Your Partner. So crucial to provide balance...
The little tips such as purple stripy pyjamas, meadow foxtail being soft, and spikelets facing inwards really help to make things stick in the mind👍
Fantastic resource! Thanks for sharing.
Absolutely brilliant! Fantastic presentation. Thank you so much! I have learnt so many things, it's been a great help to me in learning about grasses. Just what I needed! Thank you
Really enjoyed the presentation, some lovely photos which help differentiation between grass types. Many thanks
Brilliant webinar. I'm running a citizen science project surveying habitats and this will be a great resource to use. Thanks. Liz
Excellent. Very helpful.
thank you so much for bothering to make this video. i feel like i've learned a lot .
what i would find most helpful of all, would be a (20 MIN+) video of ALL the various types of grasses. best of all
would be a split screen, divided into four sub squares showing the following in each of the four quarters:
1: the (pre-flowering) foliage 2: plant with infloresence 3: close up of spikelets 4: the plants as it looks in winter. and finally, full screen video footage of how the mature plant moves/sounds in a breeze (for grass gardeners).
this videololog (ancient though it is) is the best clip i've come across so far to give a good overview of Ornamental grasses:

it would be fantastic if someone with knowledge of all the rich varieties of grasses was to put together the definitive docu-film of grasses (including ornamental garden grasses). pictures paint a thousand words, but only film can truly bring to life the subtle movement and sounds of grasses in motion. yes it would take time and dedication, but if anyone was to want to change the public's attitude to plain old, dull old, grass...and get them to appreciate even the scrubby derelict bits of (grass-)land around them (especially those living in urban concrete jungle) then i cant think of a more worthwhile project. it would at the least keep someone very busy during Covid!
Thank you for a very nice presentation! The first question at the end was regarding grasses found in different soil types and habitats - Dominic Price's 'Field Guide to Grasses, Sedges and Rushes' devotes a few pages at the front of the book to useful spider diagrams depicting the species that are found in each of the following habitats; neutral grassland, acid grassland and heath, calcareous grasslands, wet heath and mire and woodlands. It's a useful resource for beginners.
Yes Tanya, Dom's book is excellent and he runs some great ID courses too! Links to some more grass ID resources here: bsbi.org/grass-id
which is the best PHOTOGRAPHIC guide (book) that covers ALL the common grasses of britain?
i need to see the colours, patterns, surrounding plant community etc to memorise the grasses.
however useful drawn illustrations might be anatomically, they are never sufficient on their own.
.....and isn't it time someone published a decent photo-guide of all the umbellifers of the uk?
Thanks for this
i would like to turn a field near where i live into more of a meadow than the area of rough tussocky
grass it currently is....dense tussocky grass that smothers everything and prevents anything else from moving in and getting started.
i havent the time to do any guerilla gardening involving any digging so i was wondering if you had any suggestion of what i could try? i know that yellow rattle is supposed to be useful, but how easy would it be for their seeds to get through the almost inpenetrable sward and down to the soil?
how easy would it be for yellow rattle to colonize such an area?
is there any other plant seed that would be guaranteed to break the stranglehold this tussocky grass has got? might another way simply be to dump a lot of tree leaves and or other organic twigs stems etc from the garden in piles on top of the tussocks to 'smother the smotherer'! and provide some kind of access point for incoming airborn seeds to get a toehold?
could you explain what the difference is between these very similar looking plants that have long silvery
awns
: stipa pennata sipa barbata stipa borysthenica
stipa joannis celak stipa pulcherrima
stipa tersa stipa zalesskii
Do you think you could list all the grasses you ID in this video? In case I'm looking for a specific species?
what is the isbn for IRELANDS GRASSES? i cant find it anywhere on amazon.
i to am scared of grass lands
Sound is terrible.
