[QUOTE="Karin, post: 1295949, member: 18961"] That's a bunchgrass, so I'm thinking fescue as well, but I cannot tell without seeing the collar region of the grass. Fescues typically lack what is called a "ligule" which is a membraneous outgrowth from the "sheath" of the grass, seen when you bend back the leaf away from the stem. This link is good on showing you some parts of the grass to see what I'm talking about. [url=http://www.ipm.ucdavis.edu/PMG/WEEDS/ID/idcharac.html]http://www.ipm.ucdavis.edu/PMG/WEEDS/ID/idcharac.html[/url] The second possibility that this could be be is a species of wheatgrass, one of the "harder" grasses like Intermediate or Slender. Third possibility is that it could be ryegrass, but the leaves appear too narrow for that. Big bluestem is the fourth possibility. Is there any way of finding some seed heads as well? [/QUOTE]
