What is it?
Is it corn, wheat, barley or what? It must have sprouted from some birdseed and has rooted itself in a crack in the paving, all alone, no fellow ears of corn/barley/whatever to protect it from the buffeting winds. It managed to survive all the kids tearing around during Saturday night's party. One brave little plant. Can anyone name it?

I'd say it's Foxtail Millet, Hydra. I remember we had cannabis plants come up from birdseed some years ago. I don't think they include that kind of hemp these days.
Ooh! Can you smoke it? :-)
It's not foxtail, it's ordinary millet. The foxtail millet seedhead sticks straight up but this one is in a gentle arc, and so is ordinary millet from what I can see on Google!
Look at this pic http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/File:Foxtailmillet.jpg
It's only erect when young and immature.;-)
I know a few men like that!
