You can easily imagine how grain crops developed from normal #grasses in neolithic times. I would have started breeding with this #grass ...

Two favourites: Anthoxanthum odoratum (Sweet vernal grass with heavenly smell of fresh hay) and Holcus lanatus (with its beautiful German name Wolliges Honiggras, "wooly honey-grass").

If you can, why don't you take the time to take a super close look at grass flowers? They can be absolutely stunning! 🌾

What's your favourite grass, I want to know! Everybody should have one! 😍

“The #grasses are really those pioneer species, and they are the #dune builders,” she says.

“By sticking up in the air, they really are able to catch and drop that sand, and that’s the physical action that builds the dune.”

More data about “plant blindness,” but also a completely hilarious window into how #grasses are a total mystery to just about everyone, even when they are ridiculously common and abundant. Expected ability to ID is literally zero. 🤪

In defense of the study participants, I can’t tell these apart without an inflorescence either, and they probably only encounter these guys in mowed areas where their little blooming heads have already been chopped off. #PlantBlindness https://mastodon.scot/@kim_harding/116476606452724855
