Oh my. That’s so wonderful. So delicate and intricate. So patternriffic.
It’s fabulous grass. As it matures, it gets this purple red colour, so pretty.
Awns galore.
Does it tickle as much as the cereal barley does?
Ice Swimmer, yes. :D
Apart from the properties of barley awns, I learned the hard way when I was a kid that putting your arms into freshly threshed barley seeds/grains isn’t a good idea. The arms itched like hell.
