What does barley look like?

Barley looks very much like wheat. If you've seen a wheat plant before, then barley has often much longer awns (those long things that stick out from the seeds on the seed head) and is often a more yellowish colour. Wheat tends to be more reddish in colour, with shorter awns. The seeds are not clumped together as wheat is, as the seeds are a bit more smoother on the head than wheat. In most barley seed heads, there are less seeds on a barley seed head than on a wheat seed head.
