Lovely! Wait until the seed pods are almost black. My original plant got crowded out and did not come back this year – I had planned to move it and two offspring to a better location. Moved the offspring anyway and they will bloom soon. Love them! I have S. Angustifolium, but I like S. campestre very much as well.

I found this plant for the first time last week in NJ as well!

My plant died, I think. No sign of it yet this year. I can’t find another, either.

Just found two patches of that in my lawn this week, in an area I recently fenced off from the deer. I was excited too!

You can use Michigan floras online key to try and get to species but it’s very challenging. Great find!

Very cool iris relative! It’s one that I tend to find in the oddest of locations sometimes. Really lovely in a dense planting of low growing forbs.

We have a few patches in our beds that just came up. We love them. Just beautiful.
