Angel's Fishing Rods

I wait each year for these amazing blooms. "Dierama: is a perennial grass of some sort, with tall arching stems of bell-shaped, flowers. Each stem drops with the weight of the flowers which earns them the most romantic of names - Angel's Fishing Rods. The flowers bloom in shades of pink and mauve and occasionally white, and they hang above clumps of grey-green, grassy leaves. These flowers look like grass themselves when the buds first comes. Each bud expands into a pendant flower so graceful that it earns its other favorite name: Fairy wands. The stems may look delicate, but are actually very tough and are deer resistant. They are amazing to watch swinging in the breeze. I have them over the pond, so they are definitely my angel's fishing rods.
