These distinctive spiky, or 'bearded', green and purple flower heads of wall barley appear from June to July. Although common in urban environments, these were collected from a verge adjacent to a rural arable field. The spikelets (containing the flowers) are positioned close to each other in rows, forming a rectangular flower head with spiky tufts. It's known as 'Mouse Barley' in North America. In England children call the plant by its colloquial name, 'Flea Dart', from the aerodynamic shape of its seedhead, which they like to throw.
