| Possibly Miscanthus sinensis? There are several varieties. For me, gardening is really just an excuse for playing in the dirt. Admittedly, plants are a satisfying by-product. |

| My first thought was Pampas Grass too (which is invasive in Ca.), but pampas grass gets much larger, with razor sharp leaves. There are other grasses with those plumes that stay shorter. |

| Yes there are quite a few clump grasses used as ornamentals. Calamagrostis acutiflora (Feather Reed grass) is a candidate but is more vertical than your photos. Pennisetum (Fountain Grass) maybe? |

| It's definately not pampas grass lol. I personally was thinking in the Miscanthus genus, but can't find someting that looks like it online... |

Lee-Roy, can you give us close-ups of the seed heads? Their overall shapes look like the miscanthus in my yard. Sorry, these pix are from several years ago, not very good.   For me, gardening is really just an excuse for playing in the dirt. Admittedly, plants are a satisfying by-product. |
