Yellow Stargrass (Hypoxis hirsuta L)

Photographic Location: Lebanon Cedar Forrest in Wilson County Tennessee

Yellow Star Grass is in the Amaryllis Family which includes Lilies, Irises and relatives.  It prefers wet mesic, mesic, and dry soil conditions. Yellow Star Grass blooms approximately from May to June and grows best in full sun to partial shade. Growing only 6" tall, this yellow beauty has some unusual characteristics such as when the leaves are almost closed it appears green because the outside of the petals are displayed, however; when the flower is open the beautiful array of golden yellow will catch your eye!
