Needle Pointed Blue-Eyed
Grass (Sisyrinchium Mucronatum) -
Contrary to its common name, it is
not a grass, The low growing, narrow leaves do have a grass-like appearance,
thus the common name. The dainty, deep blue to violet flowers open one at a
time. The star shaped blooms are under 3/4" across. At the tip of
each rounded petal or sepal is a needle like tip, thus its common name of
Needle-tip Blue-eyed grass. Flowers close in the late afternoon to evening and
open again in the morning. Its native habitat includes forests, woodlands,
fields, meadows, and along ponds and streams.
Spreading Fleabane (Erigeron Diverens) - Is a flowering plant in the daisy and sunflower family. It has small, attractive daisy like flowers with up to 150 ray flowers, giving the round flower head a frilly look. The plump yellow or greenish-yellow centers are made up of tiny disk flowers.
It is a plant of many habitats from desert to low-elevation mountains.
Creeping Buttercup - The common buttercup found in damp places on grassland, along woodland and field edges. Its long, rooting runners helping it to spread across lawns. This golden-cupped flower is a childhood favorite: if a yellow reflection appears when it is held up to the chin, it is considered as a sign
that the person likes butter.
