Bluets- These can be so common in unused pastures or wasteland to give an entire field a blue cast.
1. Least Bluet. For many years this was named Hedyotis crassifolia though many, perhaps most sources now classify this as Houstonia pusilla.
The flowers are 6-10 mm across and at least in my area almost always are found in groups separate from the clearly larger Houstonia pusilla.
2. Tiny Bluets Houstonia pusilla with one Least Bluet (if indeed there is any difference other than flower size.) The flowers on these are larger about 12-16mm. This image shows the exception- there is one "Least Bluet" in a clump of "Tiny Bluets".
3. Not all Bluets are blue- some are white such as the Southern Bluet Houstonia micrantha.

Field madder, probably Sherardia arvensis. This is a much smaller flower than bluets they average about 2.5-3.5mm. Sometimes I find these a much less saturated color.

Gerry. I appreciate your kind words.
Birna is "our" botanist! If I recall correctly she studied macrophytes (a class of underwater plants) as well as photography.
For me, learning a bit about the flora and fauna that I see and their place and function within our ecosystem simply adds to the wonder that is life.
I'm here largely because I'm very slowly learning to see more, often in unfamiliar ways. From time to time an image posted here gives a feeling of joy to me: diverse though we are such an image speaks to our human commonality.

This pieris was planted over ten years ago along a fence line where it is partially shaded by a tree on the adjacent property. This is the first year it has produced flowers. The foliage is changing from the early spring red to glossy green. The flowers are about 13-14mm.
