18ReplyWow, that's a pretty cool bot. Kudos to whoever programmed this one.
14ReplyOk that's pretty cool, I think it nailed it.
Wonder where it came from, I've found it in a bunch of my pots.
12ReplyI should move there. That grass is beautiful.

Grass ID is usually impossible without seeing the inflorescence. Though I’m no good at it either way.
12ReplyGlad I googled that, I was about to go outside with a black light.
16ReplyHaha 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.
