Ted the soil in Wales which also has very green grass is not very different from southern England which doesn't. Southern England has hotter dryer summers than Wales or Ireland, and the greenest grass's won't grow their and other grass's which are common don't get enough rain to be as green.

Look.......again, I was talking about a scenario where climatic conditions are constant.....when every area is getting the same amount of rain. Sure grass turns yellow in droughts but that's not the true color of the grass. So again, the color of grass is most dependent on the type of grass and the nutrients in the soil.

As for Wales vs S. England, the climate between the two is not all that different. In fact, Wales might be slightly warmer and wetter because it faces the Gulf Stream as it comes across the Atlantic. For an example, in southwestern England which is due south of Wales, one type of palm tree grows there but rarely is found in southeastern England. Therefore, if the grasses are different between Wales and southern England, its more likely a matter of fashion rather than dependent on climate.
