Hi Everybody!

I've never been to this forum before, but I need help on some really gorgeous seeds I got in a trade and hoped you could help me identify them. The name on the envelope was "FoxTail Grass", but it doesn't match the hit in PF. These are an inch long and bleached wheat or straw colored, and the one in PF was Alopecurus pratensis but the seed stalk-thing looks more trim than these would probably be.

The seeds themselves look just like the tail of an animal. I got sort of a section of the seed-stem-plume, thing, and it is coarse like an animal tail and just looks very fox-like or dog-like. Blonde. LOL!

Each individual seed has about 7 or 8 one-inch long hairs attached. ...actually about the color and texture of Anna Nicole Smith's hair.

Does it sound familiar in any way to anybody?
