Sisyrinchium atlanticum: Eastern blue-eyed grass — Suzassippi’s Lottabusha County Chronicles

This species of the Iridaceae family is native to the eastern North America and ranges from Maine south to Florida and Mississippi. It is also native to the eastern provinces of Canada. The preferred habitat is “moist sandy shores and grasslands” and apparently my ditch at the bottom of the hill meets the criteria. Sand washes down from the gravel and rock above and it is definitely moist as well as an abundant grower of grass.
