Dwarf toetoe, Chionochloa flavicans, is a showy ornamental, often found in landscape plantings. Its numerous flowers are often nodding. Above at the Auckland Botanic Gardens and below in a planting at the Wellington Botanic Gardens. Note that birds, (sparrows, I think) are feeding on the grass seedheads in the photo below. Also propagated from seed and only hardy to zone 8 for us in the US.
