Sisyrinchium angustifolium, Narrow-leaf-blue-eyed-grass, Howard County, MD, Helen Lowe Metzman
Ah, a tiny little iris. One of the Blue-eyed Grasses. These make wonderful little tiny garden potted plants by the way. Bees visit them regularly, though the plant is so small its role as bee food is probably overlooked more than not. Sisyrinchium angustifolium. Specimen and picture by Helen Lowe Metzman.
