Can anyone identify this plant which I photographed earlier today? This
is an extreme close up and the blurred blades of grass should give you
some reference as to the actual size. From memory the seed head (if that
is the correct term) is probably about 3-5 mm long.

Thanks,
Mike

Perhaps Plantago lanceolata?


That must be it. Once you gave me a term to search for I have done some
searching and based on what I have seen and read I am fairly positive this
is what I'm looking at here in my back yard. I hate taking pictures of
things and then later realizing that I have no clue whatsoeve as to what
that thing actually is!

Thanks again,
Mike
