Creeping soft-grass - Holcus mollis is a rhizomatous perennial grass native in woods and hedgerows. It flowers from June to July and the flowers are wind pollinated. Seed is set from July to September and germinate from March to June.
Creeping soft-grass has rhizomes that occur 5 to 10 cm deep in soil but in woodland the rhizomes occupy the litter layer.
It is a foodplant for the larvae and caterpillars of some butterflies and moths.

Welcome! I am an Artist/Photographer based in Edinburgh, Scotland. My interests are wide and varied and this is reflected in my subject matter. I enjoy finding the beauty in even the most mundane subjects and the challenge of depicting the small details which are sometimes overlooked. Where possible, I research my subjects to give me a better understanding, which in turn allows me to adapt my approach to each one. I do not restrict myself to any particular style or media as this gives me the freedom to create my vision on each individual piece. I hope you enjoy browsing my galleries as much as I have enjoyed creating the works. Copyright © Yvonne Johnstone 2024. All rights reserved. All artwork in this gallery is original and uniquely...
