Bluebunch wheatgrass (Pseudoroegneria spicata ssp. spicata syn. Agropyron spicatum), Grass family (Poaceae).
Stansbury Mts, Tooele County, Utah.
I've noticed this wonderfully soft wheat-colored grass all over the bay area since our hike in Pinnacles last week. Let me know if you can identify it.
This is actually a crop from a somewhat high key black and white treatment of the panorama, rather than from the original exposure.
There's something about this simple view of grass, earth and tree that I quite like.
The days immediately before the 15 July 2010 Jefferson fire, the sagebrush steppe of the Idaho National Laboratory was still green and lush given that 2010 was a relatively wet and cool year. Here, basin wildrye stands tall among a large stand of squirreltail, Elymus elymoides. This site lies north of Middle Butte (background) and north of highway 20, Bingham County, Idaho (near the Butte County line).
Slender wheatgrass is common right along the JMT from montane parkland into the subalpine and occasionally alpine. Lengths of lemmas awns and degree of secund arrangement of spikelets are variously developed throughout these elevation zones.
Are you looking for natural and ancient solution, trusted by million of people since ancient times, for all the health problems? Here is the solution: Wheatgrass juice benefits the blood cells, bones, glands, hair, kidneys, liver, muscles, spleen, teeth and other body parts.
"Slender upright grass with variable leaves. The blades are usually glabrous but the sheaths are softly hairy or scabrous. The 'ligule' (structure of the junction where the leaf angles away from the culm) includes a pair of slender, pointed extentions wrap around the stem like an untied bow tie. Similar structures are found in the exotic Rye-grasses (Lolium spp.) but in Elymus these are typically a pale yellow colour. Flowerheads are slender and often arching. The mature florets (composed of bracts that surround the grain) dry into graceful 'hooks' which allow them to catch on fur. The the slender culms of some Wheat Grass plants elongate immensely on maturity, sometimes reaching over a metre and a half and snaking through the surrounding vegetation. This habit is not consistent, even within plants growing in the same place. " Information from the Indigenous Flora and Fauna Assocation wiki on Elymus scaber

Bababi Djinanang is a native grassland reserve in Fawkner, near the end of Jukes Road and Merri Creek. The site is fenced but is accessible to walkers. The native grasslands is an imporatant ecosystem which once stretched for hundreds of miles across the basaltic plains west of Melbourne. With development only about 1% of these grasslands are left in small pockets which harbour an important diversity of native flora and fauna species.

Pseudoroegneria spicata or Agropyron spicatum, bluebunch wheatgrass, is most abundant on the upland sites of the Crazy D Ranch, southeast of Melville, Sweet Grass County, Montana.
Agropyron spicatum, bluebunch wheatgrass, dominates unburned and burned sagebrush steppe in the Jarbidge area, especially to the north in and around the border of the Idaho and Nevada along the Jarbidge River drainage. Cheatgrass is essentially non-existent except along roadsides and in localized patches near roads (including two tracks). Elk Mountain sits in the background.
This was taken some time ago, when D brought some wheat grass over. She was passing him some grass, while I was taking photos and videos. :)
Looking funny here because he was still trying to tuck the hay in with his tongue while begging for more.
Volunteer alfalfa and crested wheatgrass in historical hay field being renovated to be more productive and effective. James Robinson worked with NRCS to plan and install a pivot irrigation system, including a water pump and pipeline. He is also working with NRCS to identify and treat invasive species on his rangelands. Robinson ranch, Northern Cheyenne Reservation, Rosebud County, Montana, June 2022.
The summer following a fire, Elymus cinereus along with Elymus elymoids, Agropyron dasystachyum, and Poa secunda (and not necessarily Bromus tectorum) respond very well. Here a coyote seems to want to hang out around the taller bunches of Elymus cinereus. [rd28 between pbf and mfc.]

Roadside communities dominated by crested wheatgrass (i.e., roadside green strips) can harbor high levels of native plant diversity. Pronghorn are often observed in crested wheatgrass green strips. This site lies along Lincoln Blvd just north of the main southern entrance, Idaho National Laboratory, Butte County, Idaho.
water every three days, trim at 4 inches high, needs indirect sunlight, bring back glass cube after 3 months for replanting ($6).

"Green Duo is a naturally-concentrated deep green leafy vegetable consisting of the highest quality #organic #wheatgrass and organic #alfalfa. PINES Green Duo is a true blend of these two nutrient-dense vegetables..
Don't have time to eat vegetables?"
The US Department of Agriculture says that 9 out of 10 people do not eat enough #vegetables for the health protective benefits they provide.
PINES Nutrition is named after Pembroke Pines, Florida, and PINES International is named after the Pine tree, the symbol of peace in nature. Both are dedicated to better health through good nutrition.
PINES Nutrition carries the best nutritional supplements, utilizing a friendly, knowledgeable staff. PINES International is the first company to introduce #greensuperfoods in 1976.
Like all Pines products, #GreenDuo is Certified Organic, #NonGMOProject Verified, #glutenfree, #vegan, #Kosher and #raw, packaged in amber glass bottles with special metal caps so Pines can remove the oxygen from each bottle to protect against the oxidation and loss of nutrition that occurs when a #greensuperfood is packaged in plastic tubs or paper packets. Green Duo is available in powder to mix wit water, #juice or a #smoothie and convenient capsules.
You can find Green Duo at quality natural food stores or online at wheatgrass.com

It is good to recycle but supporting companies that don't care helps them add more wildlife-killing and planet-polluting plastic shards into our oceans and landfills. Customer-oriented retail outlets usually provide at least one glass alternative for every product category. It's not that difficult to support the Earth with our buying choices. Further, it is now known that even BPA plastic leaches toxic petrochemicals into our food. Green superfoods easily oxidize and loose nutrition when packaged in plastic tubs and packets. Such packaging is extremely inappropriate. Since 1976, Pines has used only earth-friendly amber glass bottles with special metal caps that allow the company to remove the oxygen from each bottle to protect the health-giving raw qualities of true organic wheatgrass and alfalfa grown as nature intends: Outdoors in glacial soils through the often freezing temperatures of winter.
South of Thermopolis just past the south end of the Wind River Canyon, the sagebrush steppe is not dominated by Bromus tectorum regardless of disturbance history. This is in contrast to the Thermopolis regions at the north end of the Wind River Canyon. At this particular site, Agropyron cristatum (crested wheatgrass) is the dominant bunchgrass. Bouteloua gracilis is also common. Perennial native forbs such as Astragalus and Cryptantha are sporadic.
Spreading wheatgrass is fairly common in the alpine and subalpine settings of the Jarbidge Mountains. Glumes with long awns and the ascending to sometimes nearly prostrate stems are diagnostic, as is the flowering head that shatters at maturity (i.e., similar to Elymus elymoides, which has an erect growth habit and two rather than one spikelet per inflorescence node).
I found these close to my home and thought they were weeds, but after some research I found out that Crested wheatgrass spreads like weeds, but they are actually used to suppress the growth of weeds ... Just another topic that got me doing some research and learning something new!

The Green Duo teach children of all ages about good nutrition, appropriate packaging and sustainable organic practices.
The main reason is we try to limit ingredients to what we grow ourselves on our own 100% #organic family farms. If grown correctly, spirulina, #wheatgrass and other cereal #grass are all nutritionally similar. #Algae, such as spirulina, are most often food for water #animals, while grasses are food for nearly all land #mammals, including #carnivores. Spirulina is also similar to wheatgrass with respect to the #chlorophyll #detoxification that occurs (as long as the chlorophyll is not too oxidized.) Spirulina’s only drawbacks are a much lower #vegetable #fiber compared to most land #vegetables and a much higher bacterial level. Vegetable fiber is important for the #primate digestive tract. Vegetable fiber along with chlorophyll and other green food nutrients serve as the perfect environment for #probiotic bacteria. Spirulina has a much higher level of non-probiotic bacteria than quality cereal grass because it grows surrounded by the #nutrients found in #soil rather that drawing nutrients from soil through a root system like other vegetables. Some #plastic tub blends include both cereal grasses and spirulina. Adding spirulina to a plastic tub is important for more than #nutrition. Spirulina does not show the effects of #oxidation as quickly and is slower to turn brown in the presence of #oxygen.. Since cereal grasses turns brown faster in a plastic tub than spirulina, some tub companies add spirulina to mask the poor color and make the product look greener than it would without the spirulina. All Pines products are grown for maximum chlorophyll and green food nutrition. We are the original green #superfood company, established in 1976, 15 years before the first tub company. Pines International has never used plastic tubs in our nearly 40 years. Instead, we use the amber glass bottles with special metal caps that allow us to remove the oxygen and seal the product against the oxidation that occurs with cheap plastic tubs.
