Flowering Florida Gama Grass

Flowering Florida Gama Grass

Flowers of Florida gama grass (Tripsacum dactyloides) at the Fairchild Tropical Botanic Garden. The flowers do not have showy petals or sepals because they are wind pollinated; they do not intentionally attract pollinators such as bees or butterflies.
