Question
I found this plant growing in my wild weed yard I never water the yard it is all natural only mow it down in summer I live Yuba City, California USA. I don't know if it is a grass, weed, or tree. The photo shows it picked but the stem was longer approximately 10.5 inches coming strait out of the ground with the beautiful kind of flower top photo was taken in late June. I just loved the way it looks. I live the Northern valley flat land my house set in an old almond orchard if that helps.
Answer
Dear basicshari, you've phototraphed a species of Cyperus (flatsedge), which belongs to the Cyperaceae (sedge family). I can't tell you which species you've photographed as California is a long way from my region of expertise. However, I hope knowing the general group of plants may still be helpful to you.
