blade of grass
Single lawn leaf
A blade of grass is a single leaf of grass, narrow and elongated, growing from the base of the plant.
The phrase emphasizes individuality within what we typically perceive as an undifferentiated mass—a lawn or meadow.
It appears in expressions about scale or insignificance: not a blade of grass was stirring, every blade of grass seemed greener after the rain.
