J20161013-0017—Sisyrinchium californicum—RPBG—DxO

Sisyrinchium californicum—golden eyed grass. I have always called this species "yellow-eyed grass" but it seems that "golden-eyed grass" was in common use by 1878 and possibly earlier. The species is found in wet places near the coast. It likes to surround itself with mesic grasses and it is often difficult to tell this little iris-like plant from the grasses. Photographed at Regional Parks Botanic Garden located in Tilden Regional Park near Berkeley, CA.
