A collection of
poetry & photography.

‘We confidently hope….to secure the attention of a large proportion of the observant for the elegant grasses now beginning their varied succession in our rich meadows and pastures. Once begun, we have no doubt of the acquaintance being succeeded by admiration, and ripening into friendship, nor of the cordial satisfaction resulting from the new study. We earnestly entreat our readers to throw themselves without delay into the pursuit of grass-lore and to begin to collect and to study at once, so that the present season may be fully utilised…’
May, 1867, Margaret Plues, British Grasses.
