    This came up in my vegetable garden a couple of years ago and is now blooming for the first time. It is quite drought tolerant even in a pot and seems to be doing quite well. I'm hoping someone can help me identify it as I am curious to find out where it might have come from. This is in Santa Barbara, California.

    Thanks for the help,

    Dylan

    Sisyrinchium striatum, I think.

    This was grown here at the Botanical Garden and it seeded quite readily and spread easily.
