Grass Widow

Grass Widow
Have no idea why these are called Grass Widows. Their botanical name is Olsynium (formerly Sisyrinchium) douglasii, and they are named after the famous North American explorer, David Douglas (whose biography I recently read). They are finished in our area but these were in prime condition in eastern Washington when we were there recently. Spring has been just a little later than here.
