Walking through the church yard across the road from home I noticed so much of this tiny plant, it wasn't familiar to me, yet it was everywhere and I don't like not knowing what something is.
Eventually found it in this book
There it is...........Field Woodrush. Latin name Luzula campestris.
I discovered it has a common name of "Good Friday Grass". I found it on Easter Saturday! .
"A short tuft forming rush, the leaves are fringed with white hairs. It's brown flowers, appearing from April to May, form clusters on top of greenish stems. Common and widespread."
The yellow on my sprig is pollen and a lot was left after picking it up from where it was laying on my laptop for the photo. Hope it's a pollen of use to bees etc as there was plenty of it in the churchyard.
Back Tomorrow
