Kikuyu grass

For the Macro Mondays group, 7 June 2021, subject 208 "Grass".

Kikuyu grass is a native of the highlands of eastern Africa. It grows well in warmer areas and sandy soil and was introduced to parts of Australia over a century ago, mainly as feed for the dairy industry (it also was introduced to other parts of the world). It is now "naturalised" in Australia, meaning it is here to stay, but it is very aggressive, climbs into vegetation and takes over everything if given the chance.

Taken in my garden (unfortunately) with a 50mm lens and extension tubes.
