I don't know if everyone has the same picture when they get on this forum, but there is a beautiful picture of a whispy large oranemental grass at the top right of the webpage.

Anyone please tell me what it is named so I can read up on it? I love it!

Thanks,

Terra

Although it's a bit too small of a picture to be absolutely certain, the OG indicated most closely resembles true pampas grass, Cortaderia selloana. FFF, living in SoCal, I'd be very cautious about planting this - it is considered an invasive species in your area.

Here is a link that might be useful: Cortaderia - CA invasive species
