Flowering grass stem on the right against a backdrop of lush green paddock, trees and a blue sky with clouds. The grass is probably Paspalum, because it usually is.

FADE IN

EXT. DAY. A garden — mostly lawn — slopes down to a paddock with eight black-faced sheep. The sky is grey. A light rain falls.

BRONWEN bends down over a patch of lawn and scrutinises the vegetation with a hand lens. Stands up. Brandishes the hand lens.
