Re: new grass

Nancy, it looks like luzula to me, too.  There is more than one species, but
nivea is more common.  If it blooms white next spring, you'll know for sure.

  Is it possible you have a Luzula or Hypoxis?

  > I checked out the Luzula and mine is a small plant that could be one if I
could find a picture to see.  I love all the pictures I did find though.  It
does not have a bulb so it is not Hypoxis.  Want to see a picture I did take?

It will be great to see those flowers on my grass.  I had it in the sun with
the fiber optic grass and that could be the reason I lost several plants.  I
will plant my in the woodland garden this weekend and tell it to grow and
bloom for me.
   Thanks,
