Aira caryophyllea   Silver Hair-grass C DD N

Aira caryophyllea group Aira caryophyllea

This is quite a small grass which likes very sandy soils and rocky ground. It is easily overlooked and because of the thin stems and small flower, very difficult to photograph. I put my hat behind some in a vain attempt to get some in focus but it didn't work very well.
