What is this plant?

This plant is growing in my neighbors yard.(she’s moved away) so I don’t know if she planted it or if they are weeds.
they look like they might be pine tree saplings.
It’s a pine tree
If the main stem is triangular it is likely to be one of the hedges that grow in marshy or wetland conditions.
I agree,I believe it is family of the papyrus plant
If it has a triangular stalk it could be yellow/purple nut sedge. This weed is taking over our yard! Spreads by hundreds of rhizomes in the dirt that can stay dormant for years.
Looks like what we in Florida call sand spurs. Don’t step on one, especially when they dry. Will attach to your clothing too.
Nutsedge!
It looks to me to be a type of grass. Not sure the variety.
It is not a baby pine tree. It is an invasive weed (provided you don't want it there). It is nutsedge, a grass-like plant that forms tiny tubers on its roots. Those tubers don't pull up easily, and the plant colonizes, so pulling them out once usually doesn't eliminate the colony. Glyphosate (Roundup) works well to eradicate them, or just continue to pull them out until you've exhausted the colony.
Is this a cockaburr?
It is a noxious, perennial weed called nutsedge. I would dig them up if possible. Here's information about them: http://ipm.ucanr.edu/PMG/WEEDS/nutsedge.html
