jeweled blue-eyed-grass, Sisyrinchium xerophyllum
These blue eyes that shyly look up to us have yellow irises? Well why not? They're in the iris family, so why wouldn't you want to show off your irises. The whole deal is to show off anyway. But they've picked a different way to do it than their more complex iris relatives. Jeweled blue-eyed-grass is a species of scrub and pinelands in FL, GA, and NC. Polk Co FL, 3/17/16.

Hi Denise
Just thinking it's almost time to come look for Platanthera flava. Bob
Hi Bob:
I found it on Eber Rd, about 1.5 mi S. of Kitty Todd Preserve 1/4 mi from Metroparks land. I’m guessing it came in on the RR. (NwOhio)
Apparently so, but not on all plants. The brown only shows a little in this image.
Regarding umber pussytoes, one reference calls it brown-brackted pussytoes. Are it's bracts browner than other pussytoes?
