Wood-rushes - little and large

If you walk on Newtonmore Golf Course - which is easy at the moment as there are no golfers owing to the Covid-19 restrictions - amongst the short grass you can spot patches of greyish grass.

If you look carefully, the blades of grass are hairy.

In fact it isn't grass at all, but a tiny Wood-rush.  This one is called Field Wood-rush (Luzula campestris) and grows about 6 inches (15 cm) tall when it escapes the mower.  Its "flower" at the top of the stalk is chestnut brown and when flowering the yellow pollen-bearing anthers stick out making it more conspicuous.
It like the drier areas so grows on the top of ridges.

It is probably growing in your lawn - it's growing in mine.

The second Wood-rush is the opposite - it is big - the biggest of all the Wood-rushes, it grows under trees and most of the places I have seen it are fairly damp.  It grows along the banks of the Spey, right at the edge. (Having said that, I have just seen it in another Newtonmore garden on some dry areas under trees, so it can't be too fussy.)  It's the Great Wood-rush (Luzula sylvatica). Really wide leaves,  which are hairy - like all the Wood-rushes,
