From December 16, 2006 to January 14, 2007, Botany Photo of the Day is going to be featuring photo abstracts posted with little or no scientific commentary. If abstracts aren't to your taste, please consider revisiting the site in mid-January. – Daniel
The common name is feathergrass. Native to southern South America (Patagonia).





I love abstract botanicals, Daniel -- thank you for being open minded enough to feature some of these beautiful images. For me, the essence of a particular species can also be seen in a photo like the one above, of the stipa, as well as in a photo with exquisite detail of the plant.
