Jim: Bluebells, Mason jars, and Williams Creek Green County Bluebells: are they migrants from Williams Creek, then Hudsons Creek, on to Russells Creek, Russell County? Writer wonders. Admitting it's not likely, but not really impossible, either. Click on headline for complete hypothesis. Comments on: Wildflowers of KY: Bluebells along Russell Crk RD, Green Co. By JIM Ed & Linda - Thanks for the great photo of the bluebells. Always when I see those beautiful harbingers of spring, my sweet Mama and her love for growing flowers come to mind. Within the metes and bounds of our little corner of the world, at the top of the hill from Main Street, she had flowers of all sorts in just about every corner, including ferns and bluebells (among others) over the hill near the banks of Williams Creek, between highway 80 and Milton Heights. (If it had a blossom, Mama generally could grow it. My father always said she could take a dead rose leaf and have a blooming plant in three weeks. He also said he was afraid take a nap in the summertime, lest Mama get carried away in her canning and try to squeeze him into a quart Mason jar.) Near the city park in Russell Springs, just west of where we lived, Williams Creek begins its turn northwest, then eventually more toward the north before emptying into Hudsons Creek. Not too far from that point, Hudsons joins up with Mount Olive Creek to form Russells Creek. Who knows? Maybe the Green County bluebells pictured are from corms, carried downstream years ago from Mama's little creekbank patches, that eventually washed ashore many miles removed from Russell Springs. Likely? No, not really, but then again, not really impossible either. - jim " I heard the blue bells sing" g. :)) This story was posted on 2017-04-01 07:00:52
