Velvet bent-grass Agrostis canina is a common component of lawn grasses and this is what you get if you let it grow and flower, instead of mowing the grass to keep it in a perpetual state of retarded development. That mist of tiny flowers will produce a crop of small seeds that birds will eat. A win-win result from leaving the mower to rust.......
