Ornamental Grass

ID this grass / sedge?

Any ideas? These pictures were actually taken in May rather than April - my camera's data was off a month. Any help would be greatly appreciated :-)

Thanks,

It's Luzula nivea, AKA Snowy Woodrush (for the flowers) or Lesser Woodrush. One of my favorite grasses.

Thank you so much for your help! I really like the way it looks. I have it planted in a bed with a bunch of hostas and other companions.
