  Bluegrasses, in Latin called Poaceae, are a family of their own within the kingdom of plants. The Rough bluegrass (Poa trivialis) flowers in May and June. Ripe seeds can be harvested between June and August. Since the inflorescence and seeds bend the panicles strongly, it usually looks like in the photo below. The panicles reach a length of up to 90 centimeters (approx. 3 ft).
