Blue-eyed Grass, Sisyrinchium idahoense
I am always thrilled when I find a wildflower I've never seen before.
This is one of those flowers!
It's beautiful blue leaves and vivid yellow center caught my eye ... but I had to look it up in my trusty "Plants of the Pacific Northwest Coast" (Jim Pojar & Andy MacKinnon) to know exactly what kind of flower it was.

Breathtaking! It is exciting to see a species of flower or bird for the first time.
ReplyDeleteWow, that's stunning. I don't know that one, either.
ReplyDeleteThere are only a couple of places in Astoria that actually slide :)
Wow, Sissy! What a beautiful beautiful flower. And it is a native type of GRASS? How amazing--next time I come, if it's still in bloom, I want to see it!!!
ReplyDeleteThis beautiful blue flower fills my eyes. Just fills my eyes...I'm in awe.
Natures paint palette is so vivid and bold. What a beauty and you captured it perfectly, Clytie.
