TIA.
Grass:
Bush:
No idea what the bush is. It's strange. Green year round, but the past month it's been loaded with these beautiful purple and white flowers.

No idea on the grass. How tall is that grass in the pic?
Maybe a camillia Bush?

Cut it Thursday, but 3-4 inches now. Dark green. Thin blades.
And I don't think the bush is Camellia. Flowers are much smaller than any Camellia I've ever seen

I think the bush is a Yesterday, Today and Tomorrow.

That could be a sedge and not a grass at all. Tough to tell from the pics.
Nice looking bush but I don't think Camellia. Somebody said yesterday today tomorrow plant and that could be. I've never seen on but the pics look similar.

It's hard to ID the grass from that angle. Looks like a screenshot from "Honey, I shrunk the kids"

haha. sorry. i'll get more pics of the grass tomorrow and bump the thread. i'm embarrassed of that part of the yard, so i was trying to keep the line of sight directly on the grass.
and you've all nailed the yesterday, today, tomorrow guess. I've read up on them and the description matches this bush perfectly. i've never seen it before, but everyone that's come to the house this spring says they want an offshoot from it. it's beautiful. sad thing is, i thought it was a junk bush, because the previous owners of the house basically had a jungle in the backyard. I've cut down just about everything. I cut it down to about 1/3rd of what it was.

IDK what kind of grass or bush those are but it looks as if your mower blade could use a good sharpening.

I don't know what it is, but I've had good luck with the Garden Compass App: Garden Compass
"We have horticultural experts all over the world on our staff, who diligently identify plants and pests/diseases from user photo submissions through the Garden Compass App. Here you can search our library of plants, pests and diseases to see user photos and our expert commentary on each plant."

That's what I was thinking as well. Looks like several things going on there.

Not really sure what kind of grass, but for God's sake man, sharpen your blades or get some new ones!

Dull blades pull and shred the grass rather than delivering a clean cut. The mowing quality is poor due to dull mower blades in images A and B as evidenced by the shredded leaf blades. Image D illustrates the symptoms of varying levels of mower sharpness. Leaf blade D1 demonstrates what a leaf blade should look like after mowing. Leaf blade D2 demonstrates a leaf blade that was injured by a dull mower blade. Leaf blade D3 was cut by the mower but indicates that the mower blade is not sharp enough. The white tissue sticking out of the leaf blades (D3 and D4) is the vascular tissue of the plant. Leaf blade D4 was mown for quite some time with a dull mower blade.

maybe fescue????

It looks like a blade or two of centipede and most likely sedge. You can tell by the triangle shaped blade.

what is sedge?
i don't know what to do with that backyard. i'll get better pics this evening for sure, but in the meantime: the lawn is a mess, it's got a bit of everything in it.
We desperately need a solid lawn during the spring and summer months. We have a 85lb greyhound and a Vizsla puppy on the way. The greyhound already leaves divots in the yard while playing and the Vizsla will only create more problems with the weak lawn i have. Is sedge something I can plant via seeds? Or should i just go with something more common and let it try to take over the yard? We rent the home. Don't plan to be there but about another year before buying our own home in the Woodlands, but I got to get something sturdy going back there soon or come summer when the daily afternoon showers start popping up, it's going to be a mud pit back there.

Sedge either yellow or purple are weeds. Once they get a little taller you can identify by the seeds.
Purple nutsedge is darker green and more common in lawns because it can tolerate the lower mowing heights. There are chemicals if you can ID it and the grass you are trying to grow.

Turf ID key
Follow the directions. You may need a small magnifying glass to help see some of the features. It's really easy to follow.

Take a photo of the grass from above to determine the amount of weeds to grass ratio. If it is mostly weeds your options are to do nothing or to kill the weeds and resod. Grass seed will not sufficiently keep up with the weed seed/weed growth so that isnt a realistic option.
