blue stem

Here is a fine one, like a thistle, with stiff prickly leaves, and a stiff blue stem.

It was the blossom of the robe, so to speak, hanging by a blue stem.

The bench land lying in front of it was as smooth as a table and covered with mountain blue stem.

As to his horse betraying him, Laramie had no fear, knowing the beast would make straight for the blue stem north of the hills.

That night I camped between two large sand hills and made my bed in a tall bunch of blue-stem grass.
