Question
I have this growing at the edge of my driveway in Massachusetts. I don't think it was planted intentionally because it's isolated and doesn't match the style of the existing landscaping. The blue-green leaves behind it are landscaping. Is it Carex section Cyperoideae?
Answer
Dear jfc, this is a sedge in the genus Cyperus (flatsedge). It is either Cyperus esculentus or C. strigosus. Perhaps knowing which of two species it is will allow you to make the identification to determine which it is. I hope this is helpful.
