Oh! it breaks my heart to know that something so beautiful is now gone.

Perhaps its is so beautiful because it is only transient.... This is a major theme in Japanese art, I believe. Maybe folks who are more versed in Japanese aesthetics can chime in.

Wow, its great when old layouts get revived

Cavan - I dont think its sandstone. Im not sure what it is, but it doesnt seem to be made of sediment. The hairgrass was about 30" tall plus. It would grow out of the tank without changing forms or wilting.

Thank you all for your continued comments and support.

What kind of moss did you use on the rocks? Can't wait to see the next scape.

Vesicularia ferriei - Weeping moss.

This tank deserves an even better aquascape. Hmm maybe Jason should host the BBQ (I hope were having) so I can get a sneak peek

Jason,

Your hairgrass looks like "giant hairgrass" to me. Eleocharis montevidensis. Been around forever.

Thanks for the pic! I have always wondered that that looks like since its not listed in the APC Plant Finder. It seems to bear a resemblance to Cyperus helferi - maybe the E. montevidensis has narrower leaves? Does it put out those sideshoots off the leaves like other hairgrasses?
