I have a type of grass that has green and purple shoots. But at the end,
there is a ball that looks like a ball with a bunch of very sharp barbs. The little ball is about 1/4". Nasty boogers. Any name to them? Southwest Utah. Steve |

Any name to them? Southwest Utah. sticker-type "ball" w/ multiples on a stalk or a single? Is the purple/red confined to the base of the plant/leaf? Might be sandburs if so...and if so, they're a grass and not broadleaf. Atrazine works, but does on other grasses as well so if in yard they're basically nothing for it but pulling... -- |
