    From Raleigh, NC. Started growing about 3 weeks ago and is in about a patch of 5x5ft. in my turf fescue grass.

    First two are pics of what grows out of the top after about a week or two.

    Ermmm,[​IMG] maybe I'm way off the mark,
    but those look a good deal like the flowering/seeding parts of Centipede grass, :shrug:
    and that last photo shows that it is a running grass, which is also consistent.
