Can anyone help identify the two plants pictured below? The first is an early spring flower and the second is an unknown ornamental grass. I appreciate the help!
The first picture is a crocus, I believe. It must be nice to be seeing springtime blooms emerging already! We are still covered in snow!
first picture I agreee with Corcus, secomd picture I think it may be a Carex of sorts, with lots of winter dieback.
Thanks for the comments. Hopefully this doesn't come across as bragging, but our daffodils are absolutely awesome right now. We've been fortunate to climb out from underneath the snow early this year. I agree with your identification of Crocus. We are still trying to identify everything located in that part of our flower bed. Seems like every time we turn around, something new is popping up. I believe you may be right. Our ornamental grass could be a Carex. Do Carex typically produce berries in winter? I was afraid to cut it back until I knew exactly what it was. Thanks so much for the help!
Based on your suggestion and from the pictures I see online, I'm changing my guess to Ophiopogon Japonicus. I think the following description fits our plant exactly. "standard deep green Mondo Grass that forms foot-wide and 8" high mounds of straplike, 1/4" leaves. Short racemes of small white or lilac-tinged flowers in summer are followed by blue-black berries." Thanks tipularia!
