A Dramatic Escape

Hello,

Yesterday evening this garden escape of Pampas Grass caught my eye clinging to the fiery sandstone of Yaverland cliffs, IoW. Generally I find garden plants are a blot on the wild landscape but to my eye this one looks more at home here than in its usual UK garden surroundings.

My flower book says its needs 'well-drained soil..full sun' - it's got that then.



Thanks for looking,
Rob
