Today, considering a postage stamp with a face value of 5 kopecks of the USSR from the Plants of Russian Steppes series of postage stamps, issued in 1986 in the USSR, we will see a very interesting steppe plant called feather grass.
It looks like loose, long hair with a steely tint that develops from the wind over the surface of the earth.
This is a very beautiful sight.
The summer before last, my children were fond of floristry and made bouquets of wild flowers, decorating them with curls of feather grass.
Look how beautiful these long stems are, which contrast perfectly with other flowers in an ensemble.
Feather grows in abundance in the swamps adjacent to our city and the hills surrounding them.
I suggest you take a look at the postage stamp.
