About Scientific name - Chondropetalum mucronatum
Common name - Giant millet reed

Restios, as they are a group of plants belonging to the family Restionaceae. Hailing from the botanically diverse cape region of South Africa and also some from Australia, these are a reed-like plant. I think that they look like half grass and half bamboo!
Restios can vary in size and appearance, though most develop an upright tussock of cylindrical, reed-like stems similar to rushes.
The flowers are typically chocolate-brown and held at the tips of the stems, and the foliage is often limited to fern-like juvenile growth found at the base of young plants. In some genera however, like Rhodocoma or Thamnochortus, the reed-like stems are cloaked in dense, feathery foliage creating an entirely different effect than in the Chondropetalum genus.
Most of the Restios should be fully hardy in most of Ireland.
In time they will form very attractive specimen plants that can be used in a variety of places in your garden.

Anyway it was nice laying in there and have this
wonderful view looking up at the sky,
these reeds were good company, strong, tall,
growen up and handsome;)) xxJen

Hi Jen - thanks for sharing the info on our lovely and interesting plants, found only in the Cape Fynbos. In fynbos dynamics the restios replace the grasses to a large extent regarding function. These "reeds" are widely used for manufacturing of very neat thatced roofs. Regards.

Many thanks for your very kind reply, dear Jen.
Unfortunately, I'm not very fond of football. I used to watch it with my brother when we were young teen agers, but that's been so long ago. Now I don't even remember the rules of the game:)
Hope you will find enjoyment in the games these days and in life in general.
Best wishes,
Minoo

How nice you can imagine me laying there to take this shot, it looked so great to see the sky in clouds and blue, in contrast with the green reed...now I look at reed all the time, but its different here somehow, although I tried, falling into them..loll, good you didnt see me:))
Be well and i will finish looking the European soccer games, exciting! xxJen

You're too kind my dear, happy you like my little reeds, once I started looking at them I will always stop on the way to see if they give a nice effect;)
My day was quite well, too many things to do, need a holiday and soccer is exciting, now Swiss playing against Turkey, Holland will be on Friday again, there are 2 matches every evening, so very busy times...loll

Ja, het lag net zo fijn naast je. Oh, rollebollen in de bosjes, doe je dat ook , mallerd.
Ja hoor, riet groeit wel weer aan, ze maaien he regelmatig en dan groeit het weer uit hoor.

Nu ga ik je even met een rietstengel kietelen, ja hier, en daar, en daar ook ;-)

Dan wordt het liggen hè:))) Maar wel leuk zo naast me, voel me vereerd!!
Ik ben gek op riet, zit er regelmatig in te grasduinen, helaas gaat dat soms ook mis..
laatst bij vrienden viel ik er dwars in, lag te
brullen van het lachen, om mezelf..;))) Helaas niet veel van hun bosje over, hopen dat het goedkomt.....liefs Jen
