It looks like a festuca that's in too much shade and is getting too much water, to me anyway... peachespickett August 19, 2008

Reminds me of a muhly grass (Muhlenbergia, I think). Likely wrong though. Nedhudson1 August 19, 2008

I think Jasper is right-it looks like Festuca occidentalis-Western fescue. zhinu August 20, 2008

tcinmb-NOPE-it's not native to the west coast.Western fescue is. ecrane3 August 20, 2008

Looks like it's planted in a garden, so it could very well be something that's not native. I agree it looks like fescue though. Metrosideros August 20, 2008

Can you show a close-up of the seeding culm? zhinu August 20, 2008

No it's out in a lot area, but I think it might be an escapee. I don't think there are any seed pods, just weeds growing in and around it. At least it didn't when I took the picture.
