Can you help me ID this plant
 

Does anyone know what this plant is, see attached photo, thanks

I think it is some sort of grass

Can you help me ID this plant
 

That's pretty much got the look of a grass. Round, probably hollow stems?

Can't really id it beyond this without a good closeup of the inflorescence
and flowers, and maybe not even then from photos.

But it probably turns out not to be a grass. Carex pendula, a fairly
common garden inscape, or at least something close to it (the flowering
shoots are usually more spreading).

Sure looks like Carex, but can the "acid" test be applied that (usually)
"sedges have edges"!

The OP should check, as it isn't clear from the new photos, whether or
not the stem is triangular in cross-section, rather than round.

Ah, definitely a Carex from the look of the fruits. Probably C. pendula, then,
from the size. Wet clay soil, I assume?

Sedges have edges -- the cross section of the stem is generally triangular
in shape, with the leaves coming off in three "rows" (3-ranked, in botany-
speak) while grasses have 2-ranked leaves, and the stems are generally
circular in cross section, and hollow between the nodes (places where
the leaves are attached). There are some grasses with solid internodes,
but the structure of the flowers give them away.

Here's a cheat sheet on telling sedges from grasses from rushes:

It was previously identified as Carex pendula.
