![Tridens flavus, the purpletop tridens,[1] red top, or greasegrass, is a large, robust perennial bunchgrass native to eastern North America.
It widespread throughout its range and is most often found in man-made habitats, such as hay meadows and lawns.
The seeds are purple, giving the grass its common name. The seeds are also oily, leading to its other common name, "greasegrass". It reproduces by seed and tillers.
The grass is often confused with the similar looking Johnson grass (Sorghum halepense), although it is only distantly related. Tridens flavus is easily distinguished by its short, hairy ligule.
It is a larval host to the common wood nymph, crossline skipper, little glassywing, and the Zabulon skipper.[2]](https://photos.smugmug.com/TheArtGarden/The-Garden-Journals-walkabouts/2020/2020-10-October-walkabout/i-kQHq5pM/0/7ffdf41e/M/graingrass_DSC1056-M.jpg)

Andropogon virginicus is a species of grass known by several common names, including broomsedge bluestem, yellowsedge bluestem and (in Australia, because it was introduced to that country after being used as packaging for bottles of American whiskey) whiskey grass. It is native to the southeastern United States and as far north as the Great Lakes. It is known as an introduced species in California and Hawaii, where it is weedy. This is a useful grass for Erosion Control, Rain Gardens and Stormwater Management. Andropogon virginicus provides Fall Color and Winter Interest. Plants are appropriate for Water Wise Landscapes, Meadows, Roadsides and Restoration Projects. (top fro wikipedia; bottom from some nursery selling it)

black and white photos of bald cypress leaves don't show the browning. At least not using the technique of reducing the saturation on all colors to zero.

The branch keeps getting lower and lower. Moved the mobile a couple days later.
I do like how a manual prime lense can be focused accurately. Too accurate -- I focused on tip of what I learned as a "foxtail". Actual name would be appreciated.
