Spotted this little sunflower in the weeds on my morning walk. I have fed the birds for a long time. Seeds from my feeder produced this little flower. Ten years ago a tall sunflower would have been produced. I think they use a different variety now because the flowers are not tall from the feeder seeds.
Mowed two hours and burned my limbs yesterday! It was like cutting hay! I have Bahiagrass in my lawn! I really don’t like it but it was here before me! It has a tough stem!
Bahiagrass is valued for outstanding drought and heat tolerance and an ability to thrive where many lawn grasses falter. Bahiagrass first came to the United States in 1914 for use as a pasture grass. This South American native is still used extensively in agriculture, conservation and erosion control programs. As its origin suggests, Bahia is a warm-season grass. Its most active growth occurs from late spring through the hot summer months. In its proper climate, this perennial grass persists year after year. Within this area, Bahiagrass produces a relatively durable, low-growing, low-maintenance turf.
