any chance you could post them upright?... I have a very hard time looking at things sideways. They look like Coccothrinax species, though.

It's "French Provincial" that was popular in the 60's and 70's...maybe even started in the late 50's. Only sat on by adults wearing their good clothes. Never used for TV viewing, no kids nor dogs, no eating in that room unless it was a cocktail party and you were wearing pearls and high heels. LOL! Very nice...and I think you got a great buy! Clean it up a little and keep the kids and dogs off of it and never drink red wine anywhere near it! Linda C

It could be quack grass.

Thank you jay 6a Chicago, especially after looking back at all the time I spent looking. I actually came across that plant in researching and dismissed it. I think because of the photo's showing the red color in the fall. I am not sure if the red one is a different sub-species from this one but most likely I have pulled it in the past before it could get to that point. I did not got around to pulling it as it was irrigation night so I will wait to see if it turns red this fall. There are some small tender ones that have come up, maybe I'll drum up the nerve to give them a taste test. I took photo's of other plants last night that still elude me and I will post those soon in new threads. Thanks again for your help it is much appreciated.
