Description
Blue-eyed Grass is a common wildflower in our area. It seems to grow well in sun and dappled shade and prefers a more moist than dry growing habitat (although they can be found where it's pretty dry). The leaves look like grass, and the plant only gets to around a foot high, so you can miss these little pretties. This picture was taken June 9, 2015, in Green Lane, Pennsylvania, USA, with a Canon T4i camera and Tamron macro lens (90mm).

Thanks, Nancy, for the wonderful comment! I think the diversity and just plain joy of finding something in the "wild" makes wildflowers one of my favorite things:>)
