This grass has been growing in a few of my outdoor pots and I don't know where it came from.

Wow, that's a pretty cool bot. Kudos to whoever programmed this one.

Ok that's pretty cool, I think it nailed it.

Wonder where it came from, I've found it in a bunch of my pots.

I should move there. That grass is beautiful.

Lots of grasses use wind dispersal for spreading seed. Could be impossible to know where it came from.
