Description
"Regular" blue-eyed grass flowers were all around us when a small cluster of white flowers caught my attention. The first time I've seen the white version of this common wildflower.
So, it is completely white, and as such, it would look like an albidum (white blue-eyed grass). However, it also seems like there is no albidum in the West. Could it be some sort of albino blue-eyed grass?
I clicked on western blue-eyed grass, which says flowers are occasionally white.
"The stems of the Western Blue-eyed Grass can be as long as 60 cm, though they are often shorter. Its leaves are grassy and tufted. The flowers are 1 to 2 cm in diameter and purplish-blue, varying somewhat in color from a true blue to a definite purple; occasional white-flowering plants are found."
The data quality assessment is a summary of an observation's accuracy. All
observations start as "casual" grade, and achieve
"research" grade when
the iNat community agrees with the observer's ID, where an "agreeing"
identification is one that matches exactly or is of a child taxon of the
observer's ID. For example, if Scott says it's a mammal and Ken-ichi
says it's Homo sapiens, then Ken-ichi agrees with Scott.
the observation has a date
the observation is georeferenced (i.e. has lat/lon coordinates)
the observation has a photo
Observations will revert to "casual" grade if the above conditions aren't met or
the community agrees the location doesn't looks accurate (e.g. monkeys in the middle of the ocean, hippos in office buildings, etc.)
the community agrees the organism isn't wild/naturalized (e.g. captive or cultivated by humans or intelligent space aliens)
