Lalang Field Photography

Have you always wanted to take some photo at a Lalang Field? Lalang or blady grass is a species of grass in the genus Imperata cylindrical. It is a perennial rhizomatous grass native to east and southeast Asia, India, Australia and eastern and southern Africa. It grows from 2 - 10 feet tall. The leaves are about 2 cm wide near the base of the plant and narrow to a sharp point at the top; the margins are finely toothed and are embedded with sharp silica crystals.
