(Cares eburnea). This Missouri native sedge makes a first-rate ground cover or a welcome addition to rock gardens. Its delicate appearance hides an innate toughness and superb adaptability to heat and drought. It handles dry conditions best when planted in shade. Carex eburnea has green, needle-shaped foliage and a clumping habit, and it solves the dilemma of finding the right plant for shade gardens. The inconspicuous blooms arise in late spring. Its native habitat consists of conifer or mixed forests, often on limestone bluffs and ledges where it gets sharp drainage. It thrives in drier conditions with more shade. It stays small and delicate and catches everyone's eye. This one is growing on a well drained hill.
The Background of the Objective World
Sound, form, touch, taste and smell can never exist by themselves.
They always need a background to support them.
The background cannot be seen by the sense-organs. Names are usually given to it without its nature being known.
There is the scent and the beauty (form) of a flower. But who knows what a flower really is?
There is this same ignorance regarding the background of every sense-object.
The substratum of all is one and the same. Diversity is only of things perceived.
The substratum remains unperceived; therefore there is no diversity in it. That is existence, that is one's self, that is ,
consciousness pure,beauty transcendent and the abode of peace.
