My favorite Spring wildflower isn't the brightest or showiest; in fact, the bluet is so tiny, it could easily be missed. It doesn't grow here in Kenton County, where I live, nor in southwest Ohio, where I grew up. When we bought property on the Kinniconick Creek in Lewis County, I was excited to discover many species of plants I had never seen before. A delicate little four-lobed star of pale blue with a bright yellow center, I couldn't help thinking of it as a faerie flower.
See what I mean?
Oooh, we had those in Connecticut when I was little, I miss them... love the name too. thanks for the nice reminder.

I like these little blue flowers with yellow centers...they look like they are growing low to the ground...beautiful. On my screen they are rather lavender. I had a week of pink tulips (purchased) that became a real spirit lifter.
ReplyDeletelove love love them!!!
ReplyDeleteI wish you a happy and sunny Sunday!
So delicate, yet strong; simple yet intricate in their very being.
ReplyDeleteThese blue charmers make me think of another post I saw this morning by another artist, Forest Dream Weaver, who has captured their very essence

I love delicate little wildflowers - this one reminds me a little of blue eyed grass that pops up daintily now and again around my garden.
ReplyDeleteyes, they are the sweetest! I don't remember ever seeing them before moving here to NY, but we have them scattered about. So sweet and delicate!! Lovely shots of them :)
ReplyDeleteJust lovely-- thank you!
ReplyDeleteYour great photography revived my memories of Shabo Mekaw once again. Loved the shot along the stone foundation wall with azaleas in distance.
ReplyDeleteWonderful flowers. I don't recall ever having come in contact with that variety before.

I hope you have a wonderful birthday and get to do lots of fun things to celebrate. Do give yourself a bit of time for things you want to do - I think that is always the best "gift" of all.

ReplyDeleteI see these now and then, but I have never had them presented to me with such clarity and beauty! These are lovely. I like the texture and the delicate middle-ish.
