Bluets!

Bluets

Walking in the winter is very quiet. I often spend my walks admiring the bare trees against the bright blue sky, or watching the birds that spend their winters in North Carolina.

I’m always looking for flowers, though. Waiting for those first signs of spring.

Today I found the first bluets of the season! Bluets typically start blooming in January, and I was patiently waiting for them. I found a small clump of them on the Shiloh Greenway, in a sunny patch along the woods.

Oh, I can’t tell you how happy I was to see those tiny blue flowers! Spring will be here soon!

What flowers have you seen this month?
