We have lots of this common rush in our "lawn" and I have always known it by its English name of Good Friday grass. Easter is of course a moveable feast so the date of good Friday varies but Luzula campestris always seems to bloom on Good Friday just the same. It is a very common rush in grassland an has hairy leaves and sheath from which the stem and flower emerge.
