I have a lot of very tall grasses that I'm having to remove from our lawn as I try to turn it into all clover. But there might be a place for some of the grasses. I just wish I knew what they were, how they grow and propagate. Could you identify these for me?
The one image is obviously not a grass but wanted to ask about this one too. I see them here and there and wondered if they're useful, native or invasive?

Both grasses may be poa trivialis, a bad weed that you'll want to pull and not let go to seed.
The broad-leaved plant is a wonderful little native known as white avens: https://www.marylandbiodiversity.com/view/3605
