My Identifications

[Daughter of The Sun]

My boyfriend and the boys recently went on a backpacking trip along The Mogollon rim, he of course brought me back a baggie of plants!
A common thistle, some mullein (the boys thought it was soft and fluffy) some type of oblong leaf which I haven't tried to identify yet but the one that stumps me the most...

a type of grass, one of the other guys described it as "soft and fluffy" just a field of it looked soft and fluffy to him he wanted to sleep in it haha
The longest of the pieces he brought me was 10 inches tall, very fine grass with tiny white "wheat" looking tips, but itty bitty...so of course I know that in AZ we don't have poisonous grass so I took a bite and it was SWEET and delicious...my first thought was sweet grass but it doesn't look right...I'll try to get a picture up but if anyone has any idea what it might be let me know...

the sweet tasting grass was originally green with pale green to white tips, I dried one out and kept the other in a greenhouse with water because it had little buggies all over it and I wanted them to live so I could add them to my ecosystem they lived a few weeks (which is great!))
