Does anyone here know about plants?

It's kind of a reedy grass, I guess. Its stem is very cylindrical, with a break here and there where a slightly fatter circle separates segments. 

When it's just part of a lawn, it tends to grow a little taller than the average other grasses. It grows a single leaf that's attached to the very top circle- Long and thin leaf, and when you rub your finger lightly across the leaf in one direction, your finger catches on its tiny barbs, kind of like a cat's tongue in leaf form. 

And the same is true for the leaves of the tall-grown ones, except they're more plentiful and larger. 

The leaves grow in such a manner that, on the grown plant, it looks a little like a corn stalk ... but without the corn, and more reedy.




what is this

No
No pick no!

If it's a reed, that'll be a very terrible thing, you don't understand
for one thing, I'm pretty sure it's native to america
and for another thing, it's a REED
Reeds filter the water. It's a natural and necessary part of the cycle.
and since so many forests have been cleared, the marshy parts have almost all been 'eliminated' by people, making the reeds less plentiful,
which is bad.


edit: 
my bus driver thinks that it's phragmites, in which case ... 
yes pick let's burn them all, for they are inferior to not only birds, but cat tails as well.

Nettles or thorns. They are too bloody common in Ireland.
