Too common

This Cogon Grass - Imperata cylindrica are too common that it is probably always overlooked in term of wild life photography or even photography per se.
They can grow up to 3 meters tall and their seed are fluffy.
They grow easily and fast and is often considered a nuisance by gardeners.
However, they have uses too, among which as roof thatching and even as skincare products.

The Imperata Cylindrical

''Imperata cylindrica'' is a species of perennial rhizomatous grass native to tropical and subtropical Asia, Micronesia, Melanesia, Australia, Africa, and southern Europe. It has also been introduced to Latin America, the Caribbean, and the southeastern United States. It is a highly flammable fire-adapted species, and can spread rapidly by colonizing disturbed areas and encouraging more frequent wildfires.
