For those who, like I was a moment ago, didn't know, a Google search
instantly led me to

"*The Fescues:* The fescues are cool season grasses that are adapted to the
transition zone and into Canada.  The fescue species are easily seeded and
include the sub species of  tall bunching grasses named tall fescue and fine
shorter fescues named creeping red, hard, chewings and sheep fescue.
*All of the fescues* share the same variety characteristics with the three
dominant ones being shade tolerance, staying green all year, and  having
very good drought resistance.  Fine Fescues are more cold and shade tolerant
than Tall Fescue, but both are used though-out much of the Central to
Northern USA states."

 Assuming a metaphorical usage, to what are we being pointed, the North
American distribution? The perennial quality of the green, reminiscent of
certain philosophical problems? An invitation to consider the arguments
advanced so far as tall, short, creeping red (Who is the dirty pinko here?),
hard, (meditative) chewings, or the baa-ing of sheep?
