Description
This image displays the distinctive pendulous inflorescences of Greater Quaking Grass, an annual grass species, and not a bonsai specimen. The papery, heart-shaped spikelets are a notable feature, changing from green to golden-brown as they mature. It is known for its delicate appearance and the rustling sound its seed heads make in the wind.
