Question
I came home after months away to find an odd plant growing all by itself. I have no idea what its flowers look like, but the seed pods are white at the top of a tall 2-3' grass-like stalk. I will attach the best photo I could get. I am trying to establish wild flowers on a hillside and I want to know whether I should keep this and encourage it, or whether I should get rid of it. Thank you for your help.
Answer
Dear mabelde, good evening. As best I can tell, you have photographed a grass in the subfamily Panicoideae. I can't be certain which grass this is, and I can't answer if it is native or non-native because I don't know where the image was taken. If you can get me a closer image of the fruits and provide some additional information on general part of the world this grass is growing, I can help you further. Thank you and best wishes.
