I adore bluets. They we a favorite of my mothers and they also remind me of her. They also make me think every year of the promise of summer and more flowers to come, as they are early bloomers. Wonderful post Sydney!
So cool! Little wildflowers like this are often overlooked, and I'm just tickled when I find that someone else notices & has a special heart-connection with them :) 💕
Thanks! I was so surprised by how enthusiastically they took off in the improved soil, that was fun. I bet you'll find them now that you're on the lookout! They're one of those little flowers that you see one, and you think "Wow, that's unusual!" and then you start seeing them everywhere 🤣
Your photography is beautiful, but what really makes me smile is how you see the world. The fine details are stunning and offer a fresh perspective. I always look forward to opening Moments.
A wonderful account, Sydney--I love using wildflowers in the garden, though our desert wildflowers are often taprooted and difficult to transplant successfully. I'm not familiar with your bluets... They look like lovely, precious little plants. And your photography is gorgeous, as always!
Thank you! Such an interesting challenge with the taproots - I never thought about it, but of course it makes complete sense in the desert landscape. These little cuties were new to me upon arriving in Maine, and I certainly can't get enough of them now 🤣
It’s as though they were very grateful for being moved to a less embattled environment.
“And in appreciation of your care, concern and attention we’d like to give you this abundance of color.”
Such a lovely way to think of it!
So pretty. Now I want some bluets in my garden!
Yay, I hope you get some! :)

Really enjoyed this post - especially about how you noticed their resliency and then rescued some of the Bluets from your driveway.
I'm looking forward to looking for some on my hikes next Spring. :)

I would think so--a neatly growing wildflower that blooms not once, but twice a year is definitely a keeper!
