Blue-eyed Grass

Blue-eyed Grass
This small Blue-eyed Grass was growing near a nesting box of a pair of Mountain Bluebirds the other day. This perennial plant is native to Alberta. A common plant, blooming in June.

"Each stem produces between one and five flowers whose striking colours make up for their small size. Flowers have bright yellow centres surrounded by six violet or pale-purple petals. At 19 mm to 30 mm across, the flower may be as small as a nickel or as large as a quarter."
