Weeds and Wildflowers

We will try not to get into discussions about what goes in the weed gallery and what gets called a flower. Some things will be posted without ID or with an amateur, at best, guess. Please leave a comment if you can point me toward truth in labeling.

Doug,
The second picture on the bottom row that you would like ID'd (next to Mountain Laurel) is Common Name: Mountain Blue Eyed Grass Latin Name: Sisyrinchium montanum. This plant is part of the Iris Family (Iridaceae). If you would like more info on this I have it. When I was a little girl we used to pick these and use the grassy end as a toothpick as it is very sturdy and we were kids. Your friend in Maine :)

Hi,
Beautiful photos! Your right-most "unknown" on the 4th row is a bluette, Houstonia caerulea (in the coffee family, if i remember correctly). Pretty neat plant, it is heterostylous, which means you'll find two kinds of flowers: those with long styles and short stamens, and those with short styles and long stamens.Cheers.
