Description

Blue-eyed Grass Sisyrinchium bellum (Iridaceae)

Blue-eyed grass is not a grass, it is an iris. It is does not a typical iris. What seems to be six equal petals are really three sepals alternating with three petals, be alike in color and texture. In other irises, the three sepals spread outward and are called falls. The three "real" petals, which are more robust, are called standards. The fall is a sepal and not a petal. Typically, sepals are green and look much like modified leaves. In most irises, however, the sepals are highly modified and look like petals.
