Tripsacum dactyloides
Eastern Gammagrass, or mock grama, is interesting primarily for its separate male and female flowers that droop elegantly from each stalk. Stigmas are purple, stamens are orange; and they will attract butterflies and other pollinators. The plant is a perennial and grows best on soil that is moist or on the edge of a pond. Deer eat the hard, yellow seeds of this plant.
