I love this! 🤣

Is it thorny? I read that thieves would put Leonitis in their hair. In case they had to flee they could not be grabbed by the hair.

I've always been kind of fascinated by the sheer variety of mustelids, especially with how many different environments evolving into a long, skinny tube was handy. This is a marbled polecat with a range that stretches from the Balkans to northern China.

I use it to supress weedier things. Easy to pull and hoe where not wanted.

A patch of fine textured native Nimblewill grass going to seed.

Fine textured #Nimblewill reminds me of a slow growing, clumping bermuda grass.
