My dc brought this plant home from school for mothers day, and I have no clue what this plant is 😳 It's still sitting in its little pot and i water it every now and again to keep it going. Can anyone help me id this plant please? It's never had any flowers, it's sort of like very thin grass 😂

Pretty sure that isa grass, probably a Poa. You can see that where each leaf joins the stem there’s a sheath wrapping round the stem. Where the leaf meets the stem, there should be a tiny flap called a ligule. That will clinch it

Poa pratensis

I think you've got the beginnings of a lawn there! Could it be the original plant has been overtaken by some weed grass seedlings?

I think I can see the ligule 🙊 why would they make dc give us a bit of grass in a pot on mothers day 😆

@Lessoftheold Not sure tbh but a couple of other mums have got similar too. This is how it came to me, just like this, there wasn't another plant in the pot at all 😂
