Bluets are our very favorite spring wildflower. They have just started to bloom here at Marsh Hollow and are scattered throughout the fields at Shadyside and Pinewood, as well as at our home.

They are tiny flowers and bloom in clumps. According to the Peterson Field Guide to Wildflowers, they are a member of the bedstraw family and are pale bluish to white, with a yellow eye. Stem leaves paired, short, narrow. Often forms large colonies. 2-8 in. Grass, fields. Wisconsin, Quebec, Nova Scotia south. They will bloom April-July.

Although no photos yet, Marsh Hollow is rich in spring-beauties. They are everywhere throughout the fields. They close up in the evening. Grandson Aaron says they are going to sleep.
