Hmmm, not sure. Oleander doesn't have grain spikes. I'm just remembering the song from 'Oklahoma' where the "corn is as high as an elephant's eye", but this doesn't look like corn stalks! It IS very pretty and must sway and whistle beautifully in the wind.
Love the Southwest? Love Tucson? Every day on "Tucson Daily Photo" you'll see a new image that might be beautiful, unusual, fun, or maybe even inspirational.
Welcome!
Monday already?
Thanks for stopping by for a little "walk around" photo tour of beautiful Tucson, AZ. I hope you enjoy the trip! Please post your comments about the photos! Contact me at: TucsonDailyPhoto@gmail.com
I'm a transplanted New Yorker who loves the Tucson climate. On New Year's Day I have a bit of fun calling my (snowbound) east coast friends to announce that I'm drinking coffee while sitting on my patio. (:
That sure isn't something you expect to see in Tucson, AZ!

ReplyDeleteThat's exactly the song I thought about when I took the photo! And the wind WAS rustling it a bit that day.
ReplyDeleteIt looks a lot like giant cane/elephant grass (Arundo donax) grown in a dry climate. It's a lot more leafy when grown in warmer climates.
ReplyDeleteI mean...wetter climates...not warm. AZ doesn't have much issue with "warm." I'm from NC...my bad. =p
ReplyDeleteHi there Anonymous! THANKS for identifying this grass ~
