"Anthoxanthum odoratum or sweet vernal grass - a short-lived perennial grass that is native to acidic grassland in Eurasia and northern Africa. It is grown as a lawn grass and a house plant, due to its sweet scent, and can also be found on unimproved pastures and meadows. The specific epithet odoratum is Latin for 'odorous'." I figure it took hold in my yards after hauling in big round bales for my horse several years ago.
What a beautifully sharp image of this pretty grass and scented too!
I’m going to be sniffing the grass in the park now as I didn’t know grasses could have a scent. I suppose I’ll just smell dog pee though…

@pattyblue LOL! Thank you very much, Pat! When cut, this grass is supposed to smell a little like vanilla. =) I'll find out very soon too.
