I found a pod with small, flat, round seeds in several samples of Kentucky bluegrass sent from Oregon, USA. I have never seen it before and I am having trouble identifying it. Any thoughts?

Hello Megan,

I wonder if they might be flower anthers? If so, they should be lightweight, compress easily with tweezers and perhaps have pollen grains in them?

What do you think?

Thanks, Jennifer
