Pampas Grass

Was listening to a hilarious conversation at work today.

Apparently, it’s “Well known” that swinger couples plant Pampas or Elephant grass by their front doors as a sign to passing swingers that they should call in for a partayyyy....

I called BS, but am keen to hear from the fine people of this parish about whether A, they’ve heard of this practice? Or B, would anyone plant it or any other flora to attract passing playmates?

But surely you could never rely on it? What if the people that planted it moved? Then some unsuspecting persons who’ve moved in to the house would be getting knocks on the door!

Very 70's I think. I have some pampas grass in my front garden, it was there when we moved in. It looks lovely when it flowers

Having worked previously in a horticultural related field (no pun intended), I have heard of the pampas grass association.

Ah, well if what I hear is the true truth, it must be by your Front door! So having it in your back garden won’t work

Suposedly a 70's thing, apparently now it's wicker hearts in the window

Lot of nonsense of course just as the keys in a bowl trope.

It was indeed a sign in the days before the internet, obviously not everyone who had it growing were active in the scene .

Near the 'back door?'

Thinking on this I had an ex whose parents had a pampas grass plant growing in the front garden. He was obsessed with getting rid of it & failed year on year. No idea if they planted it or moved to it..so to speak...can't really imagine them swinging, but who knows.

When our new neighbours moved in up the lane they were horrified when we told them what Pampass grass growing outside their home meant.

As they had inherited it from the previous owners, she cut it all down the very next day

Till I came on this item, I'd never heard the 'pampas theory'

We had a huge one in our back garden when I was a kid.

My dad split it, and planted part further down the garden & another in the front garden.

Obviously I can't be 100% certain, but I'm pretty sure my parents weren't swingers

Iceland, but Aldi is closer..

It's well known, even outside of the swinging community.

The road leading to Southend is line with pampas grass which does make wonder if Southend is the swingers capital of the uk?

It's well known.

The comic strip did a film called "sex actually" in 2005 and pampas grass was a plot device.

Pampas grass, Chameleon symbols, ankle chains, these are all true signs.

The fish shape on the back of cars is apparently nothing to do with swingers.

Realised that I might need to plant some pampas grass, as my last meet struggled to find my house. Had to talk in, using phone.

Or a huge spotlight, projecting the word fab.

Pampas grass was recommended on Radio 4's Gardener's Question Time about 2 months ago, however even they had to issue a warning about it being a sign of a swinger.

No way I've got pampas grass in my front garden but it was there when I moved in. There was also a bunch of it that grew in my primary school

Pampas grass is just an urban myth that got confused with niphofia, also called tritoma, or red hot pokers.

When planting pampas grass in the garden we put an old rubber tyre around it to control its size and emissions. Helps to stop the seed spreading.

Exactly, so that I can guide people to my fab-cave.

My mind is now imaging a superhero called fab-man, who along with fab-girl, battles professor normal and his vanilla minions.

He dresses in a latex outfit and his only weakness is forumite.

Old 70’s/80’s throwback but something I’d heard of years ago, way before I got into this way of life!
