Iridaceae

Sisyrinchium albidum*
Sisyrinchium mucronatum

Sisyrinchium angustifoliumBlue-Eyed Grass (Sisyrynchium angustifolium). Until they bloom, these little plants are nearly indistinguishable from the grass in which they grow. Even in bloom they’re easy to overlook, but they deserve a close inspection.

Iris versicolor*
Iris cristata*

Iris pseudacorusYellow Iris (Iris pseudacorus). A beautiful European import that has made itself at home in our swamps and marshes, but has not made a pest of itself.
