Do you guys know this one?
Quacking grass or Briza is one of the most common grasses around here. And it is also one of the most photographed grass by me :) Besides the fluffy ones that look like little bunnies on sticks.

During the blooming time the flowers are light green. Later they all dry up and turn to light geryish-beige type of colour. The interesting part about it is that it makes a very cool sound when it is windy. Something like a very delicate rattle.
The flowers are made of layers of shells connected to each other at the top. They are empty inside which makes the super light.

Grass, weed - call it as you want. It is a cool one!
