Day 89: Quaker Lady Bluets

“If you look online to find out what they are, you may wonder, “Why are bluets called Quaker ladies?” Info on wildflower bluets says the petite little mounds of sky blue flowers are so named because their shape is similar to that of the hats once worn regularly by women of the Quaker faith. Other info says they’re called Quaker lady bluets because the pale color of the flower is similar to the shades of fabric used in making dresses worn by Quaker ladies.” (To read more about this flower click here)
