This grass has been growing in a few of my outdoor pots and I don’t know where it came from.
Pacific northwest (Vancouver)
I’d love to have some of that for my Toad’s enclosure. He’d love it.

I am a bot, and this action was performed automatically.
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.
I should move there. That grass is beautiful.
Wow, that’s a pretty cool bot. Kudos to whoever programmed this one.
Looks like the kinda grass you’d wanna walk barefoot in a meadow of.
Officially? No idea, sorry.
It’s super soft.
Grass ID is usually impossible without seeing the inflorescence. Though I’m no good at it either way.
Glad I googled that, I was about to go outside with a black light.
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.
