Porcupine grass seed.

This seed twists one direction when humidity is low and the reverse when wet. Barbs prevents it from going any direction but in/down (soil/sock/flesh)

Is it a sorghum? In northern Australia, our annual spear grass (Sorghum intrans) does the same thing. We have a very strongly wet/dry tropical climate and its burrowing into the soil protects it from dry season fires that burn every year, and leave it ready to germinate when the rains finally come.

As far as I know it’s not used for any type of animal or human food. I see on google that some places sell it as a ground cover because of the way it looks (my wife LOVES it). It is a really pretty grass when mature. Also noticed the sellers mention that it was deer and other critter resistant.

First I ever saw was on our pasture about 20 years ago. Just a lonely clump blowing in breeze. A professional seed man was on our property (we were getting reseeded after a power line cut across us). He spotted the clump and was Really excited and asked if he could get a sample.

That land burned badly in 2011 but my wife had some seeds lost in her purse. Lol We planted a couple year before last here at our new place and rest is history.

Sorry to all for long answer.

Really interesting that you have a sorghum that acts the same way!
