I have never been particularly fond of Nepalese Brown-Top, a sort of miniature bamboo that is almost as invasive as the real thing. I have walked many a woodland with this grass as the dominant ground cover. The leaves are relatively uninteresting, the flowers minute and pink. But now, in the midst of autumn, a handful of the leaves are turning a brilliant red, while the others persist in green. What an unexpected plant to reveal the beauty of the autumn time!
