I collected 2 species of grasses from the yard and tried an ID using the Peterson book by Lauren Brown. One appears to be Orchard Grass. Flowers/seeds are in bunches. Dactylis glomerata. She says the epithet means "gathered in bunches". She also quotes George Washington's high opinion of it. Also called Cock's Foot.
The other species seems to be Red Fescue, Festuca rubra. A key feature is round wiry basal leaves and the stem leaf rolled at the edge.
