blades of grass

Turf's thin leaves

Blades of grass are individual leaves of grass, each one narrow and elongated.

The phrase emphasizes grass as countless separate pieces rather than a uniform surface: Every blade of grass was covered in dew.

Often used to evoke detail, abundance, or the patience required to notice small things.
