Sisyrinchium Species, Stout Blue-Eyed Grass (Sisyrinchium angustifolium)
This is a japanese-bred S. bermudianum cultivar called "Blue". May sound ridiculously simple to English-speaking gardeners, but here in Tokyo it seems to work - my local florist sold all ten of his pots in two days - two to me... ;)

A newly discovered patch of Blue Eyed Grass. A bit fuzzy on the photo, my apologies.
We have thousands that are bright blue, but this one stood out by being different. A pretty purple.
Smaller flower is Sisyrinchium angustifolium. Larger flower is Sisyrinchium Bermudianum.
