    well... I think that it is... I've seen it over the years at Wisley used as an annual infiller..

    it only grows to about a foot high.. as it seems in the photo...

    Could it be Star-Rush? Dichromena colorata.

    Oooooo that's really pretty salino it could be a hordeum jubatum there was amother photo with that plant label a little way away which could account for it! Flowerchild that is pretty I love it gonna look that up!!! My reason for asking is I have recently cleared a bed under some lailandi( I have my reasons for keeping them!!) they are trimmed high but the soil underneath is a little sandy and in full sun so I have a mini prarie thing going on with a mini rudbeckia some echinacea and x3 monarda (loving them!!) and I want some grass to infill the gaps in keeping with it!

    There is a label in the original picture - bottom right as you look at it and when I click on the picture to enlarge - bottom left. Unfortunately I can't make out the writing.
