Hmm...I think my absolute favorite would have to be my blue-eyed grass
Sisyrinchium montanum, especially when the buds are just about to open, and
they really do remind me of a little blue eye, peaking out from between the
blade-like leaves. I think I especially like them because very few people
notice them when they visit my garden...they are like my own little secret.

I have Sisyrinchium californicum, Yellow-eyed Grass, shown he

and Olysnium douglasi, Blue-eyed grass, shown he

The blue-eyed is especially pleasing. If I spot S. montanum offered
locally, I'll likely add it to the array. This is all cool stuff. One
reason I don't understand the relatively recent fad for grass clumps as
decorative plants is because the same turf effects can be made had with
things like evergreen blue-eyed grass but with the addition of bright
flowers & not so quick to wear out in the center.

"Oh, sir! The flowers, they are wild," replied the timid creature.
