Bluets

/ˈbluːɛts/ noun

Definition

Small wildflowers with delicate blue or pink flowers, common in fields and meadows across North America.

Etymology

From blue + diminutive suffix -et, meaning 'little blue flowers,' with roots in botanical naming conventions.

Kelly Says

Bluets are so tiny and delicate that early botanists almost missed them, but they're now recognized as crucial for early-season pollinators emerging from winter hibernation.
