Hoping you all can help tell me if the images are of my turf(Agrostis pallens) or something else. They are a lighter green color than the rest of my grass, and all shoot from a single place kinda like crabgass. However, the flower looks like (Agrostis Pallens) flower.
Here are as many details as I can think of:
– Location: Los Angeles, CA
– Planted grass/turf: Agrostis Pallens(Native Bentgrass)
– Last year in November, I planted Agrostis pallens from seed. What's in my photos started to pop up a month later, but I pulled them all or sprayed them thinking it was crabgrass. However, a few got by me and made it to flower, where I noticed their flowers looked like Agrostis pallen's online pictures. They all were gone by summer(May or June).
– I had a hard-fought battle with Bermuda over the summer, and I decided to replant some of the bare spots with Agrostis pallens sod in late October.
– 4 weeks after putting the sod down, I went over the entire lawn with Anderson's Barricade.
Now these are popping up again and I don't know if I should pull them or let them be.

Poa ?
Blue grass seeds ?
Poa, lots of info here about it, GL OP.
This looks like poa annua. This is an annual weed which drops seeds, dies when it gets hot during summer, and new seeds begin germinating either late fall or early spring and the process begins again. It grows in bunches and can take over your yard if left unchecked. Best way to get rid of it os to use a pre-emergent in late winter just before spring starts.
That is poa.
This is a hybrid. This is a cross, ah, of Bluegrass, Kentucky Bluegrass, Featherbed Bent, and Northern California Sensemilia.
