I would like to add this as a new plant on the site if no one has done so..but I never know how to put the trade name and requirements it asks for other than the common name and a photo..so if it is not on here someone help me please to add it.

I found this fabulous wildflower called Blue Eyed Grass at a nursery out in the country in Alabama. I fell in love with the tiny bright sky blue flowers!
I bought 2 of them and placed them at the front of my
Sheri's healing flower garden..one in front of a small trellis that has a clematis growing on it..
the blue eyed grass accents the clematis on the small iron
trellis...

I just can not stop walking out to the flower bed to admire
these beautiful tiny blue blooms and to touch the grass
below the blooms of this plant!

I would feel more optimistic about a bright future for man if he spent less time proving that he can outwit Nature and more time tasting her sweetness and respecting her seniority. E. B.White
