Speaking of reeds, I remember a famous band in Indonesia which in the song tells of a house without flowers, but reeds that grow in the yard and become a fence for the house. Here are excerpts of song in Indonesian that I took on Youtube, sung by the original singer Ahmad Albar.
As if endless, when talking about plants called weeds. Especially for those who work as farmers. Imperata is always considered a nuisance plant. The problem is, these plants can spread quickly to attack and disturb local ecosystems. Imperata can multiply rapidly through its seeds which spread quickly by the wind, or through rhizomes that quickly penetrate loose soil such as agricultural land.
This weed can easily control damaged land, used fields, dry fields, roadside and others. In places like that, reeds can grow dominant and cover large areas such as reeds that I photograph well living on the edge of a pond that has long been abandoned by its owner.
Because of its invasive nature, many people consider thatch as a very troublesome weed. But besides that, Imperata has long been known as a medicinal plant.
Although Imperata is a parasitic plant that interferes with plants, in fact Imperata has various health benefits that are no less great than modern medicine, and do not have side effects like modern medicine.
Here are some other photos that I shared with you, my friends.
Hopefully the description above, can be something different, like photography in general that you like and enjoy so that it can provide comfort for the soul.
Best Regards,
