Re: blue-eyed grass

It's also native here, in fact, was blooming in this lot (former pasture land) when we bought it. Our species is S. augustifolium. Any others I've seen listed are not considered hardyeven in Zone5.

Tiny little thing. Had some last year I spotted blooming and needed to move 
in my horse pen. Didn't have a trowel at the time and by the next day when I 
went back I couldn't find it. Easily lost in the grass. Some grass is wider.

Here are pics of that Sisyrinchium that bloomed today.  The flowers are
tiny, about 1/2" across.  The plants are also short, less than 6" tall.

Enjoy!
Dennis in Cincy
