Bluets; Quaker ladies (Houstonia caerulea) Plant

This dainty little wildflower is one of our most charming. In spring and early summer, the abundant, tiny, light blue flowers carpet the ground brightening up a meadow, shady lawn, or woodland. The flowers grow out of small clumps and can be tucked between stepping stones, along the edge of a path, in old stumps, or in the space between the grass in thin lawns.
