Sisyrinchium sp. / Sekkaniwazekishou セッカニワセキショウ

 
Sekkaniwazekishou is the Japanese name for a Sisyrinchium species, likely originating in North America; however, no official identification has been made. This plant grows wild in sunny grasslands or lawns in various districts. The perianth lobes, which are the segments of the flower that look like petals, are white and taper to sharp points, with yellow bases that merge together and a single stripe running down the center of each. The three stamens, which are the pollen-producing parts, do not protrude from the corolla tubes, the fused parts of the petals. The fruit is nearly spherical and measures 3.5–4 mm long. This plant blooms from May to July.
