08-04-2016—Flower du Jour

Sisyrinchium californicum (yellow eyed grass) reseeded in hypertufa container. Kept removing it since it's mature size seems too big for such a shallow planter, but over the course of a couple years it stopped appearing in the ground and was only in the planter. I left some to grow; it reached half it's normal size. I think it's trying to escape the grip of Viola banksii.
