    Hello again, I sent 1 photo a few days ago. I just found the second one. I am hoping it will help with ID. It was on a swamp edge. Thank you! Sue L-B

    Answer

    Dear SueLB, you have photographed a species of Poa (bluegrass). It looks like Poa pratensis (Kentucky bluegrass). If you were to take the spikelets apart, you would identify cobwebby hairs attached the bases of the florets. Best wishes.
