If you wish to see Button Grass, be quick!
Whilst Button Grass is growing across vast areas of Western Queensland in response to the recent rains, it won't last for long. Button Grass is a short lived plant that usually dries off within 6 weeks or so. Livestock love to eat this short, leafy grass.
If you study the images carefully, you will see the seed head is rather unique. It may or may not look like a button shape to you. (No - I can't see the button thing happening!) It grows to 20 - 30 cm tall, and literally carpets the country side at the moment.
Have you seen any fresh and leafy button grass lately?
