Grayvine

Grass type: Biennial (Grows upwards by winding itself around other objects and plants.)

This short, gray-green grass grows up to 1 foot (30.5 cm) tall. The very thin stalks grow in large clumps that are flexible.

When mature, the end of the stem eventually transforms into a tiny, vivid yellow flower.

During the early summer, it produces excessive amounts of pollen, and after flowering, it is left with lots of medium-sized grains.

The sap causes itchiness of the skin
It is suitable for creating flexible, durable textiles
It makes a distinctive sound when the wind blows through it.
