Sisyrinchium Montanum Subsp. Crebrum

Sisyrinchium montanum subsp. crebrum is a striking wildflower native to the mountainous regions of western North America. Known for its bright yellow blooms and delicate appearance, this subspecies thrives in rocky and open habitats. It is often found in meadows and along stream banks where it contributes to the local biodiversity. Its common name, "blue-eyed grass," reflects its resemblance to the grass family despite its flowering characteristics. This plant is not only aesthetically pleasing but also plays an important ecological role in supporting pollinators and maintaining ecosystem health.
