Unidentified seedlings

Hi all,

Planted these a good few months ago but unfortunately the packet had got wet and I couldn't read the label. Nothing happened and I gave up and now suddenly they have sprouted. image

However, I have no idea what they are. I know they look like grass but they are planted in very neat rows and also are much sturdier than grass. I have only ever bought one packet of ornamental grass seeds and they are doing very well elsewhere so I know it's not that. 

If anyone has any idea I would be very grateful, otherwise it will be a case of wait and see. image

    I don't  think they are any bulb at all because a real close up shows they are flat like blades grass, if bulbs they would be round.

  • Thank you all, think Dove has the best guess so far. image

    I think I must have bought them (although sometimes you get a free packet thrown in) and none of the above ring a bell. The seeds must have been quite big as they are all growing in neat rows so obviously managable size. 

    Can't believe I have been so dipsy over them. image
