I was raking the leaves out of the Mondograss, and saw these bright blue berries!!!  They appear every year, but they always surprise me.  They look like some kind of lapis lazuli beads that have fallen into the grass.

 

Mondograss is a great ground cover in this area. It only grows about 3-4 inches tall, and spreads from underground rhizomes. I planted a few 4 inch plants from Home Depot the first summer we were here, and it has spread and filled in a large area where we don't want grass to grow.  It looks a lot like Liriope, but is much smaller and tidier.  Of course the deer prune it for us, but they can't pull it out of the ground like they do the pansies.  

 

It gets a little ratty looking in the winter, but in the spring it will green up and start growing again.  Then next winter I'll get to see these funny blue berries.

 

HAPPY GARDENING!!!
