Please help ID this little wild flower....

I've got quite a bit of this flower in my yard this year. I love it actually mow around it so now it is spreading. But what is it?

No idea, but I like it also.

I think it's Blue-Eyed Grass (Sisyrinchium montanum).

Terri I found some blue-eyed grass this year as well, next to an anemone berlandieri(sp?) love them!

The birdies have given me some wonderful surprises this year. :)

Blue eyed grass is a native, don't think it was birds on this one...

kitt - it's never been in my yard or surrounding fields before. If not the birds, then where?

Is a wire type grass, no seeds that I have found, can lie dormant for ages, try digging a bit up, I remember nodules in the ground, some natives return because an area has burn scars which open up the area for them, you have any native links or that Texas Wildflower handbook I think there is a descrip in there
