Kind of looks like fully grown grass blades stuck in dirt.

A little dark, would've liked to have seen a little more of the plant

Photo is too dark, hard to really see what is going on with the subject. A slighly longer exposure time would have made it better IMO

It's hard to tell if this is a new bud or a blade of grass... More of the subject for me to see would have helped me to understand.
