Question
I need help identifying this middle plant. I have no idea why it is and its growing in the middle of our hay field
Answer
Dear Jnail, thank you for your post. I can't help you as much as I would like to because I don't know where these plants were photographed (location is a major assistance to identification) and there are two different species in the photograph, both of which belong to difficult groups that would require better quality images for me to answer your question. The one on the left appears to be a member of the genus Carex (sedge), and the one on the right is a member of the grass family, specifically the tribe Triticeae, which includes such plants as rye, wheat, and barley. Best wishes.
