Meadow foxtail (Alopecurus
pratensis) flowers from May to July. One can harvest ripe seeds from June to August.
In general, the plants measure between 30 and 100 centimeter (approx. 1-3 ft), some of them may
even be a bit taller. While the plants are flowering, brownish pollen covers the spikes.
This is why the meadow foxtail got its name.
My budgies prefer this plant when it's flowering or in a half-ripe state. They actually don't like the ripe seeds.
