Which one do you like better?

And .. OMG You have Pampas grass? I planted that a few years back, as decoration for a small yard fountain. In short time, it took over the entire corner of the yard and completely engulfed the fountain. Nasty stuff, it will cut you and burn like fire if you brush the leaves. I put on a full face helmet, gloves, long sleeves to trim it. Weed killer seemed to make it grow. I finally hired a worker to dig it out. Completely filled up a full size pickup truck bed. Never again will I plant that stuff.

Thanks for looking and for your comment 👍.

I think I'd like to combine the first and second.

I really like the Pampas Grass in the first pic, but prefer the stars in the second.

Yes Pampas Grass is difficult to work with. After nearly 25 years I'm ready to trim it back to about half what it is now: roughly 6x8 now. It had large rocks around the base which helped keep it from spreading too much.

I have a pair of welders gloves I wear while working with it.
