I don't have a formal list of favorite flowers. But, if I did, Blue-eyed Grass (Sisyrinchium montanum) would certainly be on that list.
I find something striking about the brilliant yellow pattern sitting in the field of royal purple. It always catches my eye -- grabs my attention.
I can't remember where I first saw Blue-eyed Grass -- it may have been in Virginia or North Carolina. Several years ago, I noticed one plant growing at the border of the vegetable garden. Then this year, I have found it all along the roadside.
[Blue-eyed Grass is not a grass at all, but a member of the iris family].
