Sedges grow wild up here, usually on wetlands. Not really a grass though, has serrations on the stocks, triangular cross section . "Sedges have edges" as the saying goes. I notice the little birds feed on the seeds in winter.

This stuff has round stems.  I've just never known if the old folks were saying sedge or sage and never asked.  Now they are all gone and I can't ask.  Maybe I need to do some research?

There is much that I need to do, more that I want to do, and less that I can do.

Never allow your "need" to make money to exceed your "desire" to provide quality service.

Rushes, like soft rush, have round stems and have soft broom-like flowers on the ends that droop.




These are just beginning to flower, and will elongate out the end.

I see some switch cane in the first pic.  That is a good old bottomland species. 

Magicman, it is definitely not sedge like SD shows.  The sedges down here grow mostly in saturated areas or where surface water is common like SD points out in his wetland comment.  I see several species of grass, one of which is broomsage like you pointed out.
