From early April, some of the grass in the lawn was setting seed - does anyone have any ideas on what type of grass this might be? #plantid

Great, thanks @Dinglebell , yes I think Good Friday Grass looks very much like it, and seems I mistook seeds for actually the flowers!

Hey Graham, this one was with a Canon DSLR 550D - get some lovely depth of field shots with it 😊📷 @gardengimp

Interesting @harebell , maybe that's another common name for it? 🤔 will do some reading up on it. If it's what Dinglebell suggested then the Latin name is Luzula campestris
