A Fescue?
Since I work for an ornamental grass nursery, I notice grasses on my travels. This grass was carpeting the hillsides at around 1600 mt (5000') in the Middle Atlas.
Festuca ?
It is likely a Festuca however it is not blue enough to be Festuca punctoria. Like F. punctoria its leaves are incredibly stiff and spikey. You would definitely not want to fall on this grass nor can I image any animals grazing on it.

This area should have been covered in snow. Luckily for us it wasn't.

the car. I love Arabic script.

Speaking of fescue, I just received my Blue Fescue (glauca) seeds today from Blotanical Interests! I have no idea where I'm going to plant it yet, but I'm starting the seeds indoors this weekend.
Thanks for visiting my blog!
