Question
This grass is growing in the yard around my house. I don't know if it's a wild or cultivated species -- it came with the house.
Answer
Dear jfc, the grass you have photographed looks like it may be a member of the genus Poa (bluegrass). Most of the species that occur in New England have arachnoid (cobwebby) hairs at the base of the individual florets. So, it you dismantle the spikelets, you can see the hairs with low magnification. Without a specimen, I wouldn't be able to go much further with confidence.
