well, I'll try to do that, I mean, look at the date it was a month an something ago, do you believe this will still be there, it was close to someone's home and knowing the Istrians that are working and working, probably they cut it straight away when it reached the size of 35 cm :D But if you are so much into grass, I am easily gonna post a thousands of them as long as you gonna determine them ;D

Very interesting! At first side I thought that this is not a mutation, but it's just a lack of some important element in the soil. Тhen I saw near it there are normal looking too, so this might be a mutation which blocks the assimilation and because of that the chlorophyll cant be well produced.
PS: Lovely grass, please, make another spotting specially for it. ")
