This is my meadow: long, tall (not floppy) grass, sprinkled with flowers.

This is more the irregularity and length that is attractive to me. This is creeping red fescue

This is a yard in Tiburon. The notes say it is a "native bentgrass sod." I like it b/c it looks smoother to walk upon. I'd really like to discuss this concern (as you can probably tell by now!)

This is a little closer to what I envision for the meadow, though it's a little scragglier than the ideal.

The other thing I don't like about carex pansa is that the clumpy growth is not inviting to walk upon. I understand if it's mowed 8 times/year it will grow more like a lawn but that's not really what I want, either.

I think one reason I object to carex pansa (in addition to the brownness/flatness) is the uniformity. I don't really want a lawn. I would like there to be flowers throughout the meadow, and grasses of varying heights.

I like this yard, and all the photos in the project (click on the photo to see the other photos). It's green, serene, textured, has color and variety but not chaotic, enclosed but offers peeks/sight lines.

cool idea!

I don't like this. Too clumpy, not unified, no flow.
