..sure.. no problem... although my experience of some Miscanthus is that the flower heads on some can flop about especially when wet.. as does flowerheads of Calamagrostis brachytricha - Korean feather grass.. which I love but it's a bit unstable... Helictotrichon flowers also flopped about for me so I got rid..didn't like that..
the most upright Miscanthus I've tried is one called 'Ghana'...the flower heads are dead straight up, a bit like the Karl Forster grass...about 4 foot with red foliage in autumn... although my favourite is the one I grow called 'Kleine Fontaine'... which is fairly stable if divided each 3 years or so... and it does epitomise a fountain when in full flush.,..
..still, for pool side planting I prefer something evergreen and non-flowering... which is why I prefer dwarf Fargesia...which is essentially unfussy and trouble free.. as flowerheads on grasses can get a bit messy I find... however the cascaders are quite nice I agree... Hakonechloa aurea is gorgeous isn't it..?
..can't identify those grasses for the member...maybe someone else can.. but unable to enlarge the photos which makes it a bit difficult unless you're a specialist..and I'm certainly not one of those...lol
This is a picture of the grass I am looking for - it is an old pic - 2012, the grass is now above head height and very beautiful, lovely bright green colour and neat and tidy. Didn't manage to get there today, busy in garden fighting with Colorado beetles, nettles higher than me and the dreaded bamboo! Will try and add close ups soon as fit a bike ride over there in.Thanks for looking.

..the top two blue foliage plants in containers might be Elymus hispidus... the 3rd photo might be Stipa arundinacea...the sunshine brightening the foliage there quite a bit... the 4th one I couldn't guess.... the grass along the path does look like a Miscanthus but there are many named varieties of this... some better than others... I've grown quite a few and my favourites are 'Kleine Fontane'.. 'Flamingo'.. and 'Punktchen'... loads more to choose from if this is what you like...
..don't buy one called Transmorrisonensis...it's quite invasive... at first glance I thought that was the one in your photo...

Have uploaded again, maybe a bit bigger (maybe). I'm no expert either.
