Help please if poss

I found this the other day and wondered what it was. Go to my thread 'sedge' to see it and the answers (sedge more in flower than your picture)

[JennyS]

Creeping Soft-grass, Holcus mollis and the sedge might be Bottle Sedge, Carex rostrata.....but thats only a maybe......where was it growing and what did the rest of the spike look like?

Pretty certain it isn't Bottle Sedge - this is the one sedge that I know, I walk past it every day! There's a number of other things it could be. Identifying sedges in the hand is difficult enough.

As with all requests for plant ID some idea of where things are growing (both geographically and in terms of habitat) would help narrow the field.

They are both growing on wet marshland.

I know the photos are not very good for Ids as you can't see the height or foilage.
This has been the first year I have really taken notice of all the grasses,rushes and sedges and there are so many of them

Thanks people for your help

They are both growing on wet marshland.

In that case my ID-maybe of Creeping Soft-grass is wrong!

I would suggest that your sedge is Hairy Sedge (Carex hirta) - The hairy utricles seem to be indicative of this species.

I agree the second pic is Hairy Sedge.
