Pointed Blue-eyed Grass


























The flower of the pointed blue-eyed grass (Sisyrinchium angustifolium)is about the size of a dime. The small blue or violet-blue flowers have a yellow center with points on the end. You will find them blooming from May to July. Their habitats are meadows, low woods, and shores. Even though the flowers are very small, the plant has features of the Iris family and is not a grass. The green seed pods below the flower will produce and release small black seeds.
