Creamgrass - __denby - 01-19-2025 Creamgrass “Ask not what you can do for your country. Ask what’s for lunch.” - Orson Welles . Summary: A rapidly-growing and rather hardy plant, Creamgrass mirrors most attributes of dense field grasses, bearing lengthy seed bundles atop the rather dense brush-growth below. Formed of a very fibrous and hollow reed-like stalk, Creamgrass retains a very viscous sap-like liquid within the hollow stalks during the wetter months of the savannah and grasslands in which it grows. This liquid moves very slowly and possesses a rather sweet and honey-like odor, being roughly the appearance of a heavy cream; such is the origin of the plant’s name. Basic Description: A hardy and tall plant, Creamgrass grows in large clumps that cluster around a central root bundle, typically reaching heights up to five feet at the end of the whitish-yellow seed bundles. Widely spread leaves and sprouts grow horizontally from the base of the plant, giving it a rather bushlike appearance before the development of the flowering buds. Often seen being munched upon by large ruminants and other herbivores of varied grasslands, the plant is a common sight amongst grazing fields. Most shepherds and roaming cultures see the Creamgrass plant as a boon beyond any other due to the high nutritional content for themselves, and their animals. Rarity: Common Location: Creamgrass is found in generally any location with soft, damp soil that has not been tilled actively by farms and civilization. Most often seen in clusters across open savannahs and grasslands, the Creamgrass can essentially grow anywhere the seeds are carried. Properties: A hardy plant with tubular reed-like stalks. It possesses a creamlike sap within the stalks. It grows nearly anywhere that grasslands exist in plenty. Special Properties: The cream-like substance within the plant’s tubular stalks is incredibly high in calories from fats and carbohydrates. High in vitamins and minerals, it is a full-spectrum food; albeit not necessarily filling.
