About
Published on May 25, 2014 This abundant and ordinary type of perennial grass works well sometimes as backdrop of a scenery. It is also known as cat's-tail and is used indoors in pots, or outdoors in gardens where can be used as background, or in hanging gardens, what is the case of this short movie footage that displays an artificial meadow in the middle of the São Paulo city in Brazil. |
