Grasses are flowering plants

[Hornbeam]

Why do people post grasses in the non-flowering plant section? Grasses do have flowers. Doh!

[Hedge Witch]

Indeed they do Hornbeam.

And what would they do if a Mod moved their thread to the right section. Probably moan about it

[treecreeper]

Why do we need different sections anyway? I am sure most of us are interested in anything botanical

It does get quite annoying when people post threads in the Wildflowers subforum when they can feel just as much at home in the main WFPT forum. . I suppose grasses are easy to mistake for a non flowerer though as the immediate thought it colourfulness and petals

Thank you for enlightening us in such a nice way! I'll be careful where I post my grasses in future!

I don't suppose it matters in the long run.

I don't understand the need either- so we now have wildflower threads in both the sub-forum + the main forum which seems rather pointless to me. I see the need for non-flowering plants for ferns, horsetails, bryophytes, etc.
