Botanical inquiry

Mrs. Paco has expressed an interest in knowing what kind of plant this is...


It looks like some sort of ornamental grass, but it has these crazy, serrated seeds.

If anybody knows what it is, give us a holler.

Update: I believe they are, indeed, Northern sea oats. Thanks, Anonymous!

Not a clue on that one.

Probably alien. If it starts growing pods, look out.

Take a sample to Betty's Azalea Ranch. They'll probably be able to tell you.

Could they be Northern sea oats (chasmanthium latifolium)?

Triffid?

I can't eat them, so I don't know.

Whatever it is, I'm beginning to fear that it's devoured the Pacos!
