YORKSHIRE FOG AND COCKSFOOT

One of the easiest grasses to identify is Yorkshire Fog with its pale flower heads tinted pink.

It grows in hedgerows and fields. 

 

Here are four common grasses in a field near you now, left to right:

Cocksfoot, Creeping Bent (or Common Bent - not sure which), Meadow Foxtail and Yorkshire Fog  

I just happened on this late flowering Cocksfoot. doesn't it look different from the old husks of cocksfoot in the photo above.
