Sisyrinchium

[vaneramos]

This photo appears as sidebar to a recent post in The Yarn about this wildflower. I thought the blue-eyed grass in my rock garden had finished flowering, but today is a new sunny day, and a fresh ring of flowers opened this morning, so I wasted no time in recording it. The plant has bloomed steadily since I brought it from a garden centre a month

Neat! I didn’t know there were species that far east! We have Sisyrinchium bellum here. Quite literally, there’s some growing right outside the window where I’m typing this right now.

Cool! Yes, judging by the vague geographical descriptions in Roger Tory Peterson, there are at least two species native to Ontario, and several more in the east.
