The Blue eyes of Blue-eyed Grass: Happy Macro Monday

My family has a small bay lot down on the Texas coast and this past week we were able to visit. By far, this is my favorite wildflower down at the bay. It's either Sisyrinchium langloisii or S. pruinosum. One has shorter leaves than the other and frankly, I wasn't paying much attention to the leaves!
The other species of blue-eyed grass found here is Sisyrinchium exile and its....YELLOW...go figure!

Click on image for the MACRO.....there's a fine line of purple that edges the yellow. Do you see it?

Another species? This was growing along White Oak Bayou.

This is a pale blue Sisyrinchium, perhaps S. campestre. They sow wildflowers along the bayou and this could be anything.
