Wildflower - Blue-eyed Grass

The recent damp weather has produced an abundance of Blue-eyed Grass (Sisyrinchium angustifolium). I found this wildflower growing in several locations at our cabin property.



This wildflower is native to the Northeast and is found in moist open woods, fields, meadows, marshes, the edges of swamps and grassy roadsides.



This beautiful member of the Lily family has grass-like winged stems frequently growing in clumps. The 3/4 inch blue flowers with yellow centers are at the end of the grass-like stems.
