     @sengi I thought so too, and I love how it looks on my table. It seems to be called "Juncus" but that looks like only a Genus name. I'll have to look that up when I have a bit more time.

     @sengi @nstr it seems to be Corkscrew grass (Juncus effusus "Spiralis"), also known as corkscrew rush. I have found no photos (yet) but description here is pretty conclusive: http://homeguides.sfgate.com/care-corkscrew-grass-marshland-plant-68132.html

     Actually, 'grass' is a misnomer, it's actually a rush (Dutch: Rus)

     @perloid if you know what to look for, yes! :) But grasses (individual species) are huuuge - which is why most field floras (books) don't even include them. I once saw a huge tome I could barely lift up dedicated to _just_ grasses. I would have liked to buy it (just for that huge variation) but I could not afford it. :(
