Hi....I hope you can help me again with an identification of a what I think is a Stipa. I was told it was called Nile Grass,but when I called up a photo of Nile Grass, it was nothing like it!! I love the way it produces the sort of rounded shape,and I love grasses for their movement. It self seeds if I let it,but I do not let it get out of hand.

Not Nile Grass, close, but a papyrus plant. Look this up on the internet and you might be able to identify which one.

Very pretty seed head, but sorry I have no idea what it is.

Actually, I think that they are the flowers of this reed, gran, rather than seed heads. Still, very attractive.

Maybe a Cyperus glaber?

Oh you clever clever person Tugbrethil,thats the one exactly. I did try to find it on the internet once I had a clue,but was surprised that there are so many different types. So Thank you again,I always think its so much better to be able to identify and name a plant.
