Frost on northern sea oats (Chasmanthium latifolium)
Of the grasses I grow in my gardens, northern sea oats is my favourite. It grows in a clump in sun or shade, blooming in July. But even now in November the it looks decorative in my garden. Here the morning frost looks a lot like sugar or salt.

I love Northern Sea Oats too. Over time it seems mine got lost somewhere---It was in a large container. So I planted a new one this year and now I know where the other went----The goats love them too. The goats have their own home now and unless someone leaves the gate open they wont be eating my grasses again. I thought the deer got them but Kylee told me what happened. They survived to bloom though. MB

Great photo! Grass always looks so pretty with frost on it. We haven't had much frost where I live in Manitoba, yet. Winter will soon descend upon us in all of it's fury.
