Last year, the Salt Grass was very healthy. This year, the marsh
overflowed with rain because the mouth wasn't open. The MAC Class wished it
would crack open but it didn't except today on December 9, it opened. Still
there isn't any salt from the ocean water on the Salt Grass. The leaves are
stiff and sharp on the edge. They are also green.
Salt Grass lives close to
the water's edge to get water to stay alive. If the water is salty, Salt Grass
has to push the salt out onto the leaves. The salt on the leaves looks like
diamonds sparkling in the sun. This plant grows in coastal salt marshes in San
Diego, California. Salt Grass can grow 8 to 12 inches tall. If you look closely
there are small hairs on the leaves.
