Odd one out This photo symbolises how all species are different to one another, even plants within the same species are very different. And that doesnt matter. As a photographer being different is what we want and by this single grass peice being taller and being the 'odd one out' i was able to create a picture from it. Overall i think being unique and different is a good thing and not somthing to be looked down and and to be picked on for.

    Well said, and sometimes the odd one out is the one that defies rules:
    Super Fungi Forest floors are a mess. I know, because I spent the last 5 weekends in a row face-hugging it in a quest to document fungi. Floors are covered in pines, dry leafs, moss, sand, all with little sense to order or structure, just pure chaos. As a result, fungi too are typically messy, in various states of decay, damaged, ridden with dirt, growing in all directions.<br /> <br /> Yet not this one. In all this chaos, this little mycena managed to grow up straight perfectly. Not only that, it also managed to grow a perfectly symmetrical hat. It's as if chaos does not apply to it, and it simply managed to execute its inbuilt growth plan and design without any hinder. Europe,Fungi,Heeswijk,Macro,Netherlands

    This grass is Phragmites australis not Schizachyrium scoparium which is a short-statured grass that inhabits dry soils. Posted 6 years ago

The Common reed

''Phragmites'', the Common reed, is a large perennial grass found in wetlands throughout temperate and tropical regions of the world. ''Phragmites australis'' is sometimes regarded as the sole species of the genus ''Phragmites'', though some botanists divide ''Phragmites australis'' into three or four species. In particular the South Asian Khagra Reed – ''Phragmites karka'' – is often treated as a distinct species.
