Tor Grass


In the calcareous meadows where you can find lots of orchids you can also find a lot of Tor Grass (Brachypodium rupestre). It grows in large clumps and you can recognize it because it is coarser than the other grasses that surround it. In winter it is pale yellow, not as grey as other grasses.



Today an icing of frost enhances its beauty.


















Last summer its clear, light green stood out.
