This grass has been growing in a few of my outdoor pots and I don’t know where it came from.

      Ok that’s pretty cool, I think it nailed it.

      Wonder where it came from, I’ve found it in a bunch of my pots.

        Lots of grasses use wind dispersal for spreading seed. Could be impossible to know where it came from.

    Grass ID is usually impossible without seeing the inflorescence. Though I’m no good at it either way.

        Haha well you never know. Maybe some species are fluorescent and others are not. But finding information on that could be a challenge.

        But yes I mean flowering structure. Just that most people don’t think of grasses as having flowers.

    Looks like the kinda grass you’d wanna walk barefoot in a meadow of.

    Officially? No idea, sorry.

        Man, you just keep making all of us more jealous of your grass. Reel it in, we’re suffering here

    I’d love to have some of that for my Toad’s enclosure. He’d love it.
