So while I was walking chewby i decided to take some pictures of grasses we have growing around my neighborhood to try and identify on iNaturalist when I got home

Figure if im gonna be walking her out there anyway cuz my dad won't take her on walks I may as well kill two birds with one stone and try to figure out how much of what's growing back there is native and whats invasive

We have a bunch of what im pretty sure is Prairie wedge grass

Which is native so thats cool

But then

WHAT ARE YOU????

YOU SPROUTED UP SO FAST I DIDNT SEE YOU THERE LAST WEEK?????

AND YOURE ALREADY DRIED OUT????

WHERE HAVE YOU COME FROM?????

AND THIS STUPID ASS FENCE IS IN THE WAY SO I CANT EVEN GET A BETTER LOOK AT YOU

Like its clearly some kind of reed but WHAT KIND

Its near the creek

Be crazy if it was arundinaria gigantea lol (I doubt it is but that would be fuckin cool)

#wild plants #i also wanna compare it to the bamboo stick i have from the patch that used to grow in my neighborhood #i mean.........it LOOKS similar to some of the pictures ive found of arundinaria gigantea online #but its also dry which makes it harder to tell #i could /probably/ get around the fence if i go along the edge of the creek but id need to do it without chewby #and also with pants and close toed shoes instead of basketball shorts and sandals #i wanna get a better look at the reedssssss #there might be some along the other part of the creek thats not fenced off....#i just dont walk over there often anymore #if it rains tomorrow ill walk chewby that way to check it out. less mud on that walk #i wont be able to get closer than today cuz of the mud but i can at least figure out if some of it is growing over there from the road #and then i could go back when its dry #ohhh or maybe its switch cane?#i might be too far northwest for that #im definitely too far west for it to be hill cane #i mean obviously it could also be an invasive type of bamboo #aaaaaaaAAAAAAAAHHHH #IS THERE NO WAY TO KNOW FOR SURE WHAT KIND OF CANE IT IS WHEN ITS DRIED OUT????????#ALL OF YOUR PLANTS ARE GREEN AND LIVELY. MINE IS DRY AS FUCK. THIS IS NOT HELPING ME #emotionally i am hanging off the fence and screaming #physically i am in bed getting increasingly frustrated at the lack of picture of dry river cane online
