White Blue-eyed grass (Sisyrinchium Albidum )

I haven't noticed White Blue-Eyed Grass growing in the yard until the past few years. It possibly could have been here much longer but maybe I confused it with the Bluets. It's native to my state of Alabama and a member of the Iris family. A very tiny member I would say. :) There are many other species not native to my state located throughout the United State and Canada and they differ in color. It really is beautiful when you see it enlarged as the pictures I took on here. Other varieties in the Blue-eyed family have been used medicinally by the Native Americans, the roots in teas too. I'm sure there is more to be learned on this little creation as others I'm now learning about on a daily basis.
