Question
Hello there, After looking at all the true grasses in Massachusetts I've come up with an unlikely match. this grass was found at the edge of a swamp. I am hoping you can help! I have matched my photo with Poa secunda - Curley Blue Grass. What do you think? Thank you for your help! Susan L-B
Answer
Dear SueLB, good morning. You have photographed (likely) a species of Poa (blue grass). It looks much like Poa pratensis (Kentucky blue grass). If you were to pull apart the spikelets, you would notice cobwebby hairs at the bases of the individual scales.
